Fluffy Air Fryer Pancakes

Store Bought Mix

You can also make these with your favorite boxed pancake mix. Make it as directed on the package and skip to step #4.

Equipment Notes

Make the pancakes in an aluminum pan that DOES NOT have a nonstick finish. You will not get flat pancakes if you use a pan with a nonstick finish. Instead, they will be domed in the center. Use a 6-inch pan for large pancakes or 4-inch pans for smaller ones. Foil baking pans work fine.

• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to mix.
  1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour,2 tablespoons granulated sugar,1 teaspoon baking powder,1/2 teaspoon baking soda,1/2 teaspoon salt
• In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and oil. Stir to mix and break up the egg yolk.
  1 1/3 cups buttermilk,1 egg,1 tablespoon oil
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until most lumps are gone. If you are adding something, like blueberries, chocolate chips, or sprinkles, stir them in now.
  1/2 cup chocolate chips,1/2 cup blueberries
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. Use this time to preheat the air fryer at 370 degrees F for 3-5 minutes.
• Spray your pan(s) with a little cooking spray. Add 1/4 cup batter to 4-inch pans and 1/2 cup to 6-inch pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter out to the edges of the pan.
• Air fry at 370 degrees F for 6-7 minutes until they are golden brown on top. They will cook on both sides, so there is no need for flipping.
• Use oven mitts to remove the pans from the air fryer. Dump them over onto a cooling rack, and the they should fall out. Then make another batch.
• Serve them immediately or put them in a preheated 200-degree F oven to keep warm until they are all done.
