Description
A simple recipe for thick, light, and airy homemade buttermilk pancakes perfect for a weekend breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Stir in the 4 tablespoons of melted butter until just incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, do not stir the batter after the initial mix. Overmixing develops gluten, resulting in flat pancakes.
- If you do not have buttermilk, mix 2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice into 2 cups of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Keep finished pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200F oven while you cook the remaining batter.
