Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (192g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk, cold
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the griddle

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. A few lumps are okay; avoid overmixing!
  4. Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat (aim for around 350°F/175°C). You should be able to flick water on it and it should dance and evaporate quickly.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Look for bubbles forming on the surface before flipping.
  7. Place cooked pancakes on a serving plate and keep warm in a preheated oven (200°F/95°C) until ready to serve.
  8. Serve warm with your favourite toppings.
