Making buttermilk pancakes can be a straightforward task. Follow these easy steps to achieve pancake perfection:

1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients on the counter to ensure you have everything needed.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
4. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if some small lumps remain – overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
5. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
6. Pour the Batter: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
7. Cook: Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Flip: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
9. Repeat: Continue this process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
10. Serve Warm: Serve pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Following these steps ensures that you’ll have an incredible stack of buttermilk pancakes to enjoy!
