I’d always heard of buttermilk pancakes as some amazing, otherworldly treat only available in restaurants, but I’d never realise just how easy they are to make at home! Buttermilk is acidic, which reacts with the bicarb to create that gorgeous fluffy texture that everyone raves about. This makes a thick, blob-able batter rather than a pourable one, so they won’t really spread in the pan, and don’t worry if they’re not perfect circles! It’s the taste that counts, anyway.

Measure the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, and whisk together.
Measure the wet ingredients into a separate bowl or jug, and whisk together.
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and slowly pour in the wet mix, whilst whisking to avoid any lumps.
Lightly butter a large, non-stick frying pan, and heat over a medium flame. Use a spoon to pour circles of batter onto the pan. Cook until the underside is golden, then flip using a spatula. Serve warm!
