Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

This is probably as close as i can get to the IHOP's pancakes i used to enjoy on freezing winter mornings back in Madison. If you follow the instructions to the letter , no way you can mess this up. The only thing to remember is test a small ladle first on the pan to test for the right heat. You can actually see the pancakes 'rise' when you flip it over. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE them . Best eaten with what else other than maple syrup and cold butter ( not honey and majerin ye )

You need :-

1 cup flour

2 tbsp fine sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 egg

2 tbsp butter (melted)

¾ cup milk

2 tbsp white vinegar

Add vinegar to milk and leave it for 5 minutes. The milk will look ‘bad’  but it’s supposed to look like that. That’s how I make buttermilk. 

Mix Flour , sugar , baking powder and soda bicarbonate.

Melt butter . Beat egg into butter . Then add this egg/butter mixture into the  now soured milk mixture.

Pour flour into wet mixture and whisk until you get a smooth batter . Like this :-

Heat non stick pan. Spray cooking oil or I just put some oil on kitchen tissue and wipe the pan base with it.

Use ladle and pour some batter on heated pan ( as large as you want your pancake to be )

Wait until edges are set before you flip. You’ll see some bubbles start to form. Flip. Give it about 30 seconds or so before its completely cooked.

When you flip , you can actually see the pancake 'rise' . I love it ! It means my pancake is going to be light and fluffy .

Serve it golden side up.  Best eaten with butter and maple syrup.



This is the recipe I’ve been using and it works for me  . It tastes buttery good and when you cook the pancakes , you can actually see them ‘rise’ which is a good thing because you’ll love light and fluffy pancakes .Just remember  to make sure that you flip once the edges are set and use medium low gas. Otherwise you wont get that golden , sunny pancakes like IHOP has J
