Ingredients
- 135g (1.07 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla sugar (or castor sugar with a dash of vanilla extract)
- 1 1/2 tbsp ghee or clarified butter, melted and cooled
- 180-185g (0.76-0.78 cups) buttermilk, room temperature
Directions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla sugar.
- Incorporate Ghee: Add the ghee to the dry mixture and blend using your fingertips or a small blender until the flour is evenly coated.
- Add Buttermilk: Gradually whisk in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth. It should be pipeable but not runny. Adjust the consistency with a little more flour or buttermilk if necessary.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pancake pan or tawa on very low heat. Pipe or spoon about 1/2 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges brown slightly, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Tips
- Use a heavy-bottom non-stick pan to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately to enjoy their best texture, although they can also be enjoyed cold as a snack.
- Feel free to experiment with add-ins such as chocolate chips or blueberries for a tasty variation.
