Preparation

In medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and 2 tbsp (30 ml) melted butter.

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.

Grease preheated medium skillet set over medium heat with ½ tsp (2 ml) butter.

Pour ½-cup (125 ml) batter into hot skillet. Flip as soon as pancake is puffed and full of bubbles (but before bubbles break), about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on bottom. Repeat with remaining batter and greasing skillet with more butter as needed between batches.

Tips

Serve with pure maple syrup and berries or take it over the top with Canadian whipped cream, shaved chocolate and berry compote.
