Perfect Pancakes

I have searched high and low for a perfect and somewhat easy pancake recipe.  I believe I've found it: 

*Note: This recipe allows for you to make your own buttermilk (which is great for me since I never have any).  If you have buttermilk, then simply use 3/4 -1 cup of buttermilk in place of the milk, vinegar, and butter.

You will need:
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • cooking spray

This is what you do:
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine milk with vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour." 
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. 
  • Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk.  
  • Pour flour mixture into the wet mixture and whisk until lumps are gone. 
  • Use cooking spray on your griddle/skillet just before you add the batter (I've noticed that the spray can sometimes turn brown if you add it too soon).
  • Look for bubbles on top of your pancake - this means it's ready to be flipped.
  • Add delicious toppings (fruit, nuts, etc.) or a tab of butter and plain syrup.  Enjoy.
I like to double the recipe and freeze the leftovers.  A few minutes in the toaster oven and you've got a quick and oh so yummy breakfast. You're welcome.
