How to make a pancake

Preheat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. You can also use a regular skillet, but make sure to grease it with a little oil or butter.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or buttermilk substitute), milk, egg, and melted butter.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.

Cooking the Pancakes: When your skillet is hot, ladle the pancake batter onto the skillet. Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. This will give you a good-sized pancake.

Cook Until Bubbles Form: Cook the pancake until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually around 2-3 minutes.

Flip the Pancake: Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Serve: Remove the pancake from the skillet and keep warm. You can place them on a plate in a warm oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you cook the remaining pancakes.

Repeat: Continue making pancakes with the remaining batter. If the skillet starts to get too dry, you can add a little more oil or butter.

Enjoy: Serve your pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.

Feel free to customize your pancakes with ingredients like blueberries, chopped nuts, or cinnamon for added flavor. Enjoy your homemade pancakes!
