Handcrafted pancakes involve making pancakes from scratch rather than using a pre-packaged mix. Here’s a simple recipe for homemade pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the griddle as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon for extra flavor. Handcrafted pancakes allow you to control the ingredients and create a delicious breakfast treat tailored to your preferences.
