Ingredients

  • teaspoons double-acting baking powder 
  • teaspoon baking soda 
  • tablespoons butter cooled melted
  • 0.8 cup buttermilk 
  • large eggs 
  • cup flour all-purpose
  • 0.5 cup milk 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • teaspoon sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • whisk
  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. Whisk together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Combine buttermilk, milk, egg, and butter in a separate bowl; add to flour mixture, and whisk just until blended.
  3. Transfer to a large measuring cup, and let stand 10 minutes.
  4. Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or nonstick pan. Cook until pancakes are covered with bubbles and edges turn brown. Turn and cook other side 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Add 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or strawberries to batter, and fold in gently. (Raspberries and blackberries tend to break down and produce very wet pancakes.) Note: Frozen berries are picked when ripe and hold up wonderfully if you're craving berry pancakes out of season.
  6. Add 1 peeled and sliced firm apple (such as Granny Smith), 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to batter.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon grated orange zest and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips to batter.
  8. Serve with your favorite maple syrup.
  9. Garnish with more zest and chocolate.
