Description
Light, fluffy homemade buttermilk pancakes that are perfect for breakfast or brunch. Soft on the inside and golden on the outside, served with syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Butter or oil for cooking
Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
2. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
6. Flip pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Serve warm with syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor and texture.
Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
