A simple and easy homemade breakfast recipe for light, airy pancakes with a subtle tang from buttermilk. Perfect for cozy weekend mornings or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the pan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. (5 minutes)
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be lumpy. (2 minutes)
  4. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to hydrate the flour and activate the leavening agents. (10 minutes)
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, it’s ready. Lightly grease with butter or oil. (3-5 minutes)
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. (15 minutes)
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are good for tender pancakes. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking. Adjust heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making multiple batches. Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor or substitute with milk and lemon juice. Add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips before cooking if desired.
