Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp flax seed ground
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp additional butter for pan
  • 1/2 c maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add all dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix to incorporate everything evenly.
  • Add the softened butter and press into the flour with your finger tips, using a snapping technique, until there are no more visible pieces of butter and the flour has turned into coarse crumbs.
  • Whisk in the milk and vinegar until just combined (Batter should pour easily but not runny). Whisk in a splash of milk, if batter looks too thick. Be sure to not over mix!
  • Heat a non-stick skillets over medium heat. Add 1 tsp butter before adding batter.
  • Ladle about 1/3 cup batter into the skillet, spreading into a circle (don't spread too much)
  • Cook for about 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on top and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Turn over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Repeat with remaining batter to make additional pancakes and serve with maple syrup!

Notes

To make vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and milk with your favorite plant-based alternative!
