Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. (There should be lumps in the batter.)
-
Place a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease it with oil. Drop dollops of the batter onto the hot pan. Once bubbles form, flip the pancakes once and continue cooking 1 to 2 more minutes until the pancakes are cooked throughout. Serve immediately with maple syrup or other toppings.
-
Kelly's Notes: Do not overmix the batter or the pancakes will be dense and flat rather than light and fluffy.
-
For an alternative to vegetable oil (and if bacon is on the menu), try cooking the pancakes in bacon grease. The flavor and texture is hard to beat.
Why this Light and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Light and Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
