Kodiak cakes are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option, and they are especially tasty when made with buttermilk. Buttermilk gives these cakes a rich and creamy taste that can't be beat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or part of a meal. Here's how to make buttermilk Kodiak cakes that will have your mouth watering.
First, you will need to gather your ingredients. You will need one and a half cups of all-purpose flour, one cup of buttermilk, two tablespoons of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of baking soda, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of melted butter, and one egg. You can use any type of flour you'd like, but all-purpose flour works best.
Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, you can begin to make the batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined. The batter should have a thick, creamy consistency.
Now, it's time to cook your buttermilk Kodiak cakes. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the skillet with a bit of butter or oil. Spoon the batter into the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until the cakes are golden brown and cooked through. You can check the internal temperature with a thermometer; the cakes should be about 165°F in the center.
Once the cakes are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the cakes with butter and syrup, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
