Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to gather all my ingredients and equipment. First, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture is the base for those fluffy pancakes that you’ll be serving up soon. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter, stirring it together until well blended. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and gently stir until just combined. I usually mix it until there are still a few lumps – we don’t want to overmix and invite rubbery pancakes to our breakfast table! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
