Introduction: Easy Perfect Pancakes

Ever wonder how the restaurant's pancakes always taste so much better than your home-made Bisquick pancakes? Well, this instructable is going to show you how to make those great pancakes and show how easy it really is! Anyone can make these. They're almost fool-proof!

Step 1: Ingredients

The ingredients couldn't be any easier. It's one of everything…

1 Cup of Flour
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 Egg
1 Cup of Buttermilk
1 Cup of Sour Cream

That's it!

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

Just mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda together…

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Now add the egg, buttermilk and sour cream.




Step 4: Mix and Wait

Mix together. Don't over mix. Don't worry about the small clumps, they take care of themselves.

Now, wait 10 minutes… This is important for smooth pancakes.


Step 5: Griddle

Place your griddle over medium heat and apply a small amount of vegetable oil.


Step 6: Ladle

Using a 1/3rd cup ladle (or 1/3rd cup measure), pour 4 portions clockwise around the griddle. Remember the order you poured. You'll want to flip in the same order.


Step 7: Flip and Finish

When the pancakes are starting to brown around the edges and the bubbles are starting to pop in the center, flip them over.

When the pancakes are golden brown on the bottoms, remove and repeat from Step 5 to cook remaining pancakes. This recipe produces about 10 pancakes.


Step 8: Serve

That's it! If you didn't make a double batch, prepare to repeat the recipe again. Your family won't be satisfied with 10 pancakes among them.
