Description: These delightful pancakes are a fusion of two beloved Irish classics—soda bread and fluffy pancakes. The result is a hearty and comforting breakfast treat that pairs perfectly with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of butter, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serving size: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Additional butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine the beaten egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the Soda Bread Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delightful taste of Ireland’s culinary heritage.
