Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

FreshEasyPrep 10 minCook 15 minServes 4
Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Tall, tender pancakes with crisp golden edges — the classic weekend stack, made with buttermilk for extra lift.

Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

  1. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a second bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined — a few lumps are fine.
  4. Rest the batter 5 minutes while a buttered skillet heats over medium heat.
  5. Ladle 0.33 cup of batter per pancake and cook 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden. Keep warm in a low oven while you finish the batch.
Serve with: maple syrup, butter and fresh berries.

Overmixing is the number one cause of flat, tough pancakes — stop stirring as soon as the flour disappears.
