- 1¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ⅓ tsp vanilla essence
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix milk and lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, sift flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla essence.
- Mix both gently. Don’t overmix—small lumps are okay.
- Heat a pan, grease with butter or oil. Pour 2–3 tbsp batter. Cook until bubbles form, then flip. Cook another 1–2 mins.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Storage Tips
- Fridge: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm them in a toaster or microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
- Freezer-Friendly: Freeze cooked pancakes by stacking them with parchment paper in between. Store in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen.
Notes
- No Baking Powder? No Problem! This recipe gives you soft, fluffy pancakes even without using baking powder.
- Homemade Buttermilk Tip: Don’t have buttermilk? Just add 2 tsp lemon juice to 1 cup milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.
- Mix-Ins: You can gently fold in chopped bananas, blueberries, or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
- Don’t Overmix: A few lumps are totally fine—this helps make the pancakes light and fluffy.
