Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Griddle pan or griddle grill

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup buttermilk*
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter + more for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • Vigorously whisk the egg for a minute or so until foamy.
  • Melt the butter and add the butter, whisked egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients.
  • Stir or whisk it together until the batter is smooth and no longer lumpy.
  • Heat the griddle up on medium-high heat.
  • Add a pat of butter to the griddle and make sure it coats the bottom of the entire thing.
  • As soon as the butter begins to sizzle, ladle some of the batter into the pan. The batter will spread out, you should aim for making your griddle cakes to be about 5 inches in diameter.
  • The griddle cakes will begin to form bubbles. When the bubbles towards the center of the griddle cake pop and leave a hole, and the edges begin to brown and crisp up (this takes about 1-2 minutes or less), flip the griddle cake and cook it on the other side.
  • Serve immediately while hot with butter and warm maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

*IF you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a buttermilk substitute by mixing 1 cup of whole milk with 1 tablespoon of either vinegar or lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for about 3 minutes. You will notice that the milk curdles and you have now made yourself a buttermilk substitute!
