Equipment
- Non-stick pan
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp (50 g) granulated sugar
- 4 tsp (16 g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1 g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) buttermilk
- 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest (from about 1/2 an orange)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sparkling water, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, orange zest, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined - a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the leavening.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake into the pan.
- Cook until bubbles form and the edges begin to set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Stack and serve warm with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
