  • 1 large mixing bowl

Ingredients

For Homemade Buttermilk

  • 250 ml milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

For Pancake Batter

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour plain flour/maida
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ΒΌ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 cup homemade buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions

For Homemade Butter Milk

  • Take 250 ml milk at room temperature and add 1 tbsp of white vinegar. Stir well and set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Now you will get a slightly curdled thick milk that has turned into a buttermilk. Use this milk right away and do not keep it for long.

For the batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, add plain flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well using a hand whisk.
  • Now add whisked egg, melted butter, and vanilla essence.
  • Using a hand whisk, mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Do not over-mix the batter, stir just until there are no more lumps.
  • Set the batter aside for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick pan for 5 minutes on low heat. Then turn the heat to medium and pour a small ladle full of batter. Do not spread the batter, let flow on its own and take a round shape.
  • Wait for a couple of minutes or until you see small bubbles appear on the surface. Slowly flip the pancake to the other side and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a preheated oven or in a hot box until it is served.
  • Serve warm as breakfast with honey, fruit jam, or maple syrup. Or simply dust with icing sugar.
