These are the pancakes that make people believe you actually know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Ingredients 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 3 tbsp sugar 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 1 ¾ cups buttermilk 1 egg 3 tbsp melted butter Steps Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, and melted butter in another. Combine gently — batter should be lumpy (never overmix). Heat a lightly oiled skillet on medium. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake; cook until bubbles form, flip, finish 1–2 minutes. Serve with butter + warm maple syrup. Soft inside, golden outside—pure breakfast happiness.
