Print Recipe

A simple and reliable recipe for tender, airy, and flavorful buttermilk pancakes that bring warmth and comfort to your breakfast table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480 ml) buttermilk (or 2 cups milk + 2 tablespoons lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a whisk or spatula just until the flour disappears and the batter is slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the leaveners to activate and the flour to hydrate.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the hot surface, spacing pancakes a couple of inches apart.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  10. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Preheat pan properly and flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Wipe pan with a lightly buttered paper towel between batches to maintain a golden crust without excess butter.
