These buttermilk pancakes are passed down from my grandmother, who was fully Scandinavian. They are light and fluffy, and great with berry syrups. I have made these for years as a special treat, and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 ⅛ cups buttermilk

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat and lightly grease a large skillet or electric griddle.

  2. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add egg, buttermilk, and butter; stir together lightly, but keep it lumpy. The batter should look thick, spongy, and puffy.

  3. Drop 1/3 cup of the batter onto the cooking surface, spreading lightly with the bottom of the cup. Cook until lightly browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
