Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes 🥞✨
Light, airy, and perfectly golden—these homemade buttermilk pancakes are the ultimate breakfast comfort food!
Ingredients (Makes ~12 pancakes):
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
½ tsp salt
-
2 cups buttermilk (room temp)
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for griddle)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk:
Buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).
3. Make the Batter
-
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined (small lumps are okay—overmixing = tough pancakes!).
-
Let batter rest 5–10 mins (for fluffier texture).
4. Cook to Golden Perfection
-
Heat a nonstick skillet/griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter.
-
Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form (~2–3 mins), then flip and cook 1–2 mins more.
5. Serve Warm
-
Stack high and top with maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or extra butter!
Pro Tips for the BEST Pancakes:
✅ No buttermilk? Make your own: 2 cups milk + 2 tbsp lemon juice/vinegar (let sit 5 mins).
✅ Extra fluffy? Separate eggs—whip whites to soft peaks, then fold in at the end.
✅ Keep warm? Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing batches.
Light, tender, and delicious—just like grandma used to make! 😋
