Title: Pancake Day

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– Butter or oil, for cooking
– Toppings of your choice (berries, bananas, chocolate chips, maple syrup)

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.

5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.

6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

7. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
