Description

These fluffy pancakes are easy to make and perfect for a delightful breakfast. Made with simple ingredients like sour milk, flour, and a hint of sugar, they cook up light and airy with a golden-brown finish. Serve them with butter, syrup, and fresh berries for an extra special treat.


Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

For Cooking

  • cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Prepare soured milk: Combine the milk and white vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. This mixture will curdle slightly to create sour milk, which helps make the pancakes fluffy.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg and melted butter into the soured milk until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the dry flour mixture into the wet milk mixture. Whisk gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, but avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  5. Heat pan and cook pancakes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Pour ¼ cupfuls of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Flip and finish cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding cooking spray as needed.
  7. Serve: Stack pancakes and serve hot with butter, syrup, and optional toppings like fresh berries or cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to preserve fluffiness.
  • For a special twist, top the pancakes with homemade blueberry sauce or fresh fruit.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results and easier flipping.
  • Letting the milk and vinegar sit to create sour milk is crucial for the light texture.
