Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a breakfast classic that will delight your family and friends. Perfectly golden brown and incredibly soft, they are best served with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes while you heat the skillet.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.
  2. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or sliced bananas.

Tips

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest longer (up to 30 minutes) to allow the baking powder to activate.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Feel free to add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter for added flavor.

Enjoy your delicious, homemade fluffy buttermilk pancakes!
