"American-style" Fluffy Pancakesඞ

Fluffy Pancakes Ingredients

~3/4 pack (about 180–200 ml) cultured buttermilk (pett) or 200 ml buttermilk/kefir
3 eggs
2 tbsp sugar (reduce if using tart berries)
a pinch of vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
flour (add until batter reaches consistency described below)
3/4 tsp baking soda
butter for frying

Fluffy Pancake Instructions:

Whisk eggs with sugar and vanilla until slightly frothy.
Stir in the buttermilk/kefir.
Gradually add flour while mixing until the batter is slightly thicker than sour cream (about 20% thicker).
Add the baking soda last, stir briefly, then let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat a pan to medium; it should not be too hot. Add a knob of butter.
Pour roughly 3/4 cup (or a large ladle) of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form, then flip and finish cooking.

Serving suggestions: top with jam, salted caramel, curd, or ice cream. Fresh or frozen berries (e.g., blueberries) or chocolate chips can be added to the batter - reduce sugar when using tart fruit. A cinnamon-sugar mix is also excellent.
