- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for greasing)

Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing for fluffy pancakes.
- Prepare the Mold: Lightly grease an air fryer-safe silicone mold or a round baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
