Traditional Irish Pancakes

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Sugar

2 tablespoons

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Baking soda

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Buttermilk

1 cup

Egg

1, large

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons, melted (plus more for cooking)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with additional butter.
5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve the pancakes warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. Add fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.
