Follow along as we share our tried-and-true Buttermilk Pancakes recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
1. Preheat Griddle or Pan:
Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
5. Rest the Batter:
Let the pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder and baking soda to activate and helps ensure fluffy pancakes.
6. Cook Pancakes:
Once the griddle or skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the cooking surface for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if necessary.
7. Cook Until Bubbles Form:
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
8. Flip and Cook Until Golden Brown:
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Keep Warm:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep them warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the Buttermilk Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
