Instructions

  • Warm buttermilk to 100F

  • Whisk egg, sugar, and maple syrup until combined, then slowly add melted butter. Lightly whisk dry ingredients until evenly incorporated. After fermenting the batter, add the wet ingredients and whisk until combined. Lightly fold dry ingridients into the batter until evenly mixed with small clumps.  Rest for another 10 to 20 minutes.
  • On medium - low, add a small amount of grape seed oil to a nonstick pan( nonstick, cast iron, or carbon steel)
    Add a spoonful of batter. Cook on one side until small air bubbles form on the edges. Flip the cakes and add a small knob of butter. Make sure the butter coats the pan and cakes. Once fully cooked, flip one last time to coat the other side in butter. The pancakes are done once a cake tester or knife comes out of the pancake clean and hot to the touch.
  • Serve with tahini, maple syrup, and zaatar, or your favorite toppings.
