Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Separately beat buttermilk, egg and cooled melted butter.

  2. 2

    Fold together just until no dry flour remains, leaving some lumps.

  3. 3

    Grease a skillet over medium heat. Add small portions and cook until bubbles appear and the edges look matte, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Turn once and cook 1-2 minutes more until cooked through. Serve with maple syrup.

Cooking tips

  • Leave some lumps in the batter; overmixing makes pancakes tough.
