These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are light, tender, and have a subtle tang from the buttermilk, making them a cozy and comforting breakfast favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk, preferably fresh or cultured
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Measure all dry and wet ingredients precisely. Bring eggs and buttermilk to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then whisk in buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry mix. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow baking soda to react and gluten to relax.
  6. Heat the skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling water drops; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  7. Cook the pancakes: Lightly grease the pan. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Keep warm and serve: Transfer pancakes to a cooling rack or warm plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven (200°F / 93°C).

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Preheat pan properly and flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges set. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a cooling rack in a low oven to prevent sogginess.
