Friendship Treehouse Pancakes
These delightful pancakes are a playful nod to the spirit of collaboration and discovery. Fluffy and golden, they're infused with a hint of vanilla and a touch of sweetness, perfect for a cozy morning with friends. The secret to their lightness is buttermilk and a gentle hand.
Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine; do not overmix.
- 4
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- 5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- 6
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- 7
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- 8
Serve immediately with warm maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy the simple joy of discovery!
