Sometimes, you only want to make enough pancakes for a relaxed, at-home breakfast for two, and this small-batch pancake recipe is what you need, as it makes just eight fluffy pancakes. These traditional buttermilk pancakes can be mixed up quickly, and if you like, they can be dotted with juicy blueberries, which is pretty much the ideal combination once you add maple syrup\u00a0on top.<\/p>\n
If you want to go all out and make it a full brunch-style meal, pair the pancakes with homemade sausage patties<\/a> and a fruit salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just blended. If you’re using blueberries, fold them in now.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>If you use frozen blueberries, don’t let them thaw or they will discolor the batter.<\/p>\n Preheat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat, then melt a bit of butter or lightly grease the pan. Pour 1\/4 cupfuls of batter onto the griddle, then cook until the bubbles on top begin to pop and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook them until the second side is also golden brown.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>The pan is hot enough when you sprinkle a few drops of water into it and they dance.<\/p>\n The batter cannot be made ahead of time, as the baking soda starts bubbling immediately. But cooked pancakes can be stored in a covered container, stacked with pieces of parchment paper in between.<\/p>\n The point of the recipe is to make a smaller batch so you won’t have leftovers, but if you do, pancakes freeze very well. Store them in a zip-top bag separated with pieces of parchment. When you’re ready to eat your leftovers, reheat them in a skillet, a toaster or a toaster oven.<\/p>\n Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to regular milk and let it thicken for about 10 minutes. It won’t have exactly the same flavor as buttermilk, but it will have a similar thickness and be acidic enough to activate the baking soda. Here are a few other buttermilk substitution ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n A spring-loaded cookie scoop is perfect for portioning pancakes, but a 1\/4 cup measuring cup will work too.<\/p>\n Pure maple syrup is classic, but fruit and homemade whipped cream<\/a> is another option. Or make your own homemade pancake syrup<\/a> with a few pantry ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These light and fluffy pancakes are perfectly portioned for breakfast for two.
