Faux Buttermilk Pancakes
The closest you can get to buttermilk pancakes without having buttermilk on hand. Simple and delicious!
Equipment
- Griddle
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Whole Milk
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Cup Flour
- 2 Tbsp White Sugar
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ Tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Butter Melted
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon Optional; alternatively, try pie spice.
Instructions
Make the Faux Buttermilk
- In a small bowl or 2c measuring cup, add the milk and lemon juice. Stir it together and let it sit while you mix up everything else. It will "sour" the milk into a buttermilk substitute.
Make the Pancakes
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, and whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, melt the butter. After about five minutes have passed from starting the buttermilk, add the butter and egg to the buttermilk mix, stirring to combine.
- Whisk the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until mostly combined. A few lumps here and there are okay.
- Heat your griddle to medium. Alternatively, use a skillet if you don't have a griddle; any hot surface works, after all.
- Add some butter to the cooking surface to avoid sticking. Pour about ¼-⅓ cup of batter in for each pancake.
- (Optional) Drizzle your chopped fruit, chocolate chips, or other mix-ins over the batter as soon as you put it on the griddle.
- Cook each pancake for around 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden.
