Ingredients
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1.25 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 medium pears, peeled and finely diced or grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or oil for the griddle
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg slightly, then stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together until just combined; do not overmix.
Step 4: Gently fold the diced or grated pears into the batter.
Step 5: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 6: Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7: Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Serve immediately with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
Notes
For the best flavor, use freshly ground cardamom. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of buttermilk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
