Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (240ml)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon rosewater (or vanilla extract)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (130g)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

For Cooking

  • Extra butter and neutral oil for cooking pancakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Soured Milk: In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar (or lemon juice). Let it rest for at least 5 minutes until the milk thickens slightly, mimicking buttermilk.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the soured milk, egg, melted butter, and rosewater or vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine; some small lumps are okay. Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes for better texture.
  4. Heat Pan and Prepare for Cooking: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush or lightly grease it with a mixture of butter and neutral oil to prevent sticking and promote browning.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then carefully flip. Continue cooking until golden and cooked through, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed for each batch.

Notes

  • Rosewater adds a delicate floral flavor; if unavailable, vanilla extract is a good substitute.
  • Allowing the batter to rest helps create fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a mix of butter and oil to prevent butter from burning during cooking.
  • These pancakes pair beautifully with honey, syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
