Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

🥞 Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

👩‍🍳 Preparation

1

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk everything together until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

⏱ About 2 minutes
2

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

⏱ About 2 minutes
3

Make the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together until the flour is just incorporated. Do not overmix. A few small lumps will help keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

⏱ About 2–3 minutes
4

Let the Batter Rest

Allow the pancake batter to rest for about 5 minutes. This gives the flour time to hydrate and helps create softer, thicker and fluffier pancakes.

⏱ About 5 minutes
5

Heat the Pan

Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil and allow the pan to become hot before adding the batter.

⏱ About 2 minutes
6

Cook the Pancakes

Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown.

⏱ About 2–3 minutes per pancake
7

Serve Warm

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and continue cooking the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries or your favorite toppings.

⏱ Ready to serve

📦 Storage

Store completely cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them with parchment paper between each pancake for up to 2 months. Reheat before serving.

🍓 Serving Suggestion

Serve these fluffy buttermilk pancakes with warm maple syrup, butter and fresh strawberries, blueberries or bananas. You can also add whipped cream, chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra indulgent breakfast.
