A simple and easy recipe for fluffy buttermilk pancakes perfect for cozy breakfasts or weekend brunches, featuring a tender crumb and subtle tang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until the flour disappears. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 95°C) while finishing the batch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest before cooking. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles burst and edges are set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. Adjust batter thickness with a splash of buttermilk if needed.
