The Best Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

• 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

Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—try not to overmix.
4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve & Enjoy: Stack the pancakes high and serve warm with butter, real organic maple syrup, fresh fruit optional.

Tips for The Perfect Pancake

• Don’t Overmix the Batter: A few lumps are okay! Overmixing leads to dense pancakes.
• Use Fresh Buttermilk: It adds the perfect tangy flavor and helps create the fluffiest pancakes.
• Keep Pancakes Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.
• Experiment with Toppings: Try chocolate chips, blueberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon in the batter for extra flavor!
