Description

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes made with rich buttermilk for the ultimate soft and tender texture. This easy recipe yields about 15 perfectly golden small pancakes—ideal for a cozy breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients

  • 155 g (1 1/4 cups) All-purpose flour
  • 240 ml (1 cup) Buttermilk
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (25 g) Granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) Unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and buttermilk until smooth.
  2. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour to the bowl. Mix gently until just combined; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. ( Add a splash of buttermilk if too thick or sprinkle in flour if too thin)
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the hot pan.
  5. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Equipment

Notes

Storage :

  • Refrigerator: Store pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze pancakes with parchment paper between each layer for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Use the microwave (20-30 seconds), oven (350°F for 5-7 minutes), or toaster for best results.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

  1. Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and fluffier pancakes.
  2. Don’t overmix; lumps in the batter are fine.
  3. Preheat the skillet and grease lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Adjust the heat to avoid overbrowning the pancakes.
  5. Make your own buttermilk: Mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.
