These pancakes are fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for a delightful breakfast.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients together ensures an even distribution of leavening agents.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
Ensure the melted butter is not too hot to prevent cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
A few lumps in the batter are fine; they will disappear during cooking.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Use a non-stick griddle or a lightly oiled surface for best results.
Pour a portion of the batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Cook pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the griddle.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Warm maple syrup and fresh fruit make excellent toppings for these pancakes.
