Amber's Perfect Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup/120g plain flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup/250ml buttermilk (or regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk!) Tip: You can make buttermilk by using regular milk and putting some lemon juice in. 
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus a little extra for cooking)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Mix the Dry Stuff: In a big bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.

Whisk the Wet Stuff: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or milk), egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

Combine the Wet & Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and give it a gentle stir. Don’t worry if there are some lumps, that’s normal! Just don’t overmix it – the fluffier, the better!

Time to Cook:

Heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter it up.

Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.

Wait for bubbles to appear and the edges to look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip ‘em and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.

Serve and Enjoy!

Stack ‘em high and top with whatever you like – syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream... or all of the above!

There you go! Fluffy pancakes, easy and delicious! Enjoy! 🍴🧇
