Description

Delicious and fluffy pancakes made with real buttermilk for a perfect breakfast treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted if desired)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups real buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined; the batter will have some lumps.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve stacked high with butter and warm maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, do not overmix the batter.
  • Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the pancakes.
