Description

Make tall, light, and airy pancakes from scratch using this simple buttermilk recipe for the best breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently whisk in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know it is time to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a measuring cup with a spout to pour uniform pancakes.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
