These are the pancakes we make every Saturday morning.

Whisk 200 g flour, 1 tsp baking powder, half a teaspoon of baking soda, a spoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. In another bowl mix 300 ml buttermilk, an egg and 30 g melted butter.

Stir the wet into the dry until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Cook ladlefuls on a medium-hot pan until bubbles appear, then flip.

Stack them high with butter and maple syrup.
