Buttermilk Pancakes

A stack of buttermilk pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg, separated

Recipe

  1. In a small bowl, beat egg white until it forms moist peaks.
  2. In a medium bowl mix egg yolk and buttermilk until blended.
  3. Mix the flour, baking soda and salt (optionally: sift them together). Then mix in the egg and milk. Stir until just blended.
  4. Add butter, and then fold in the egg white gently.
  5. Cook on a hot cast iron pan with a generous amount of oil. A drop of batter should sizzle immediately when dropped in. Flip approximately when the top of the batter starts and then stops bubbling.
