Description

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are light, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—perfect for a comforting breakfast or weekend brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while heating a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter—lumps are okay and make fluffier pancakes.
  • Letting the batter rest allows the gluten to relax for a tender texture.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for better consistency.
