Secret Ingredient: Perfect Pancakes
Picture this: a lazy Sunday morning, sunlight streaming through your kitchen window, and the aroma of freshly cooked pancakes filling the air. What’s the secret behind the perfect pancakes that make this moment truly magical? Let’s uncover it together.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup secret ingredient (hint: it’s creamy peanut butter!)
Instructions
- Start by mixing the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Now, add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the secret ingredient, creamy peanut butter, into the pancake batter. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve your secret ingredient pancakes hot, with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
