Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil or butter to the pan and spread it evenly.
- Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form a pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake, which usually takes 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- To keep the pancakes warm while you cook the rest, you can place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
The crispy edges are achieved by using a hot skillet and allowing the pancakes to cook until they’re golden brown on each side. The butter in the batter and the greased pan also contribute to that desired crispy texture. Enjoy your delicious pancakes with crispy edges!
