Whether it is made by yourself, your other half or family, breakfast in bed is ALWAYS a treat. And here is our best fluffy pancake recipe to start your day with some delicious love.

 

Makes 8 fluffy fluffy pancakes

• 2 ½ cups of flour (310 g)
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 ½ cups of buttermilk (600 mL)
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• blueberries (optional)
• lots of maple syrup!

In a large bowl, (tip: put a towel underneath the bowl when whisking!) add all dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
In a medium bowl add the buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk to combine.
Mix the buttermilk bowl with the dry ingredients and gently whisk or fold with a rubber spatula until combined.

Let the batter rest for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
Add butter to your pan and heat over medium low heat. Add a large tablespoon or two of batter to the pan and wait 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to appear. If using the blueberries, add now on top of the uncooked batter.
Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. 
Serve the pancakes with lots of love, butter and maple syrup!

Bon appétit!
