Ingredients

1½ cups whole milk
¼ cup white vinegar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoon butter, melted + more for the pan
2¼ cups Einkorn flour 315g
3 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the whole milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl, combine the einkorn flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Bring a large sauté pan or griddle to just under medium heat. Think a level of 4 out of 10.
In a large bowl, add the milk and vinegar mixture, eggs, and melted butter, and whisk to combine. Add the bowl with the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine.
Add a tablespoon of butter to the hot pan and swirl. Add the pancake batter, roughly ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until the pancakes are a deep golden brown and the sides of the pancake are set, 1-2 minutes
Flip, then cook for an additional 30 seconds until the bottom is medium brown in color.
The pancakes should be darker in color rather than lighter to ensure that the centers are fully cooked.
Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, berries, and powdered sugar.

Notes

Homemade Buttermilk: Making homemade buttermilk with milk and vinegar is easier (you're more likely to have it on hand), and it makes for ultra fluffy pancakes.

Cook to a Deep Golden Brown Color: Because einkorn flour is denser than standard all-purpose flour, it's important to cook the pancakes until they are a deep golden brown on both sides. This will ensure that the pancakes are fully cooked in the middle.
