Instructions
Dry Ingredient Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Wet Ingredient Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend the buttermilk, sour cream, and eggs until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Butter: Gently fold in the melted butter into the batter, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Heat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
Tips:
• Avoid Overmixing: To ensure fluffy pancakes, mix the batter until just combined. Small lumps are okay.
• Consistent Heat: Maintain a consistent medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes.
• Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for the best rise.
• Customization: Feel free to add blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter for variation.
