A foolproof recipe for fluffy, golden buttermilk pancakes, perfect for any breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
