Print Recipe

A reliable, fluffy pancake recipe perfect for weekend mornings, made from simple ingredients including buttermilk for extra fluffiness and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour batter onto the hot surface using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to low (around 200°F / 93°C) to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Rest batter for a few minutes before cooking for better texture. Adjust batter consistency with milk or flour if too thick or thin. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. Avoid pressing pancakes when cooking to retain fluffiness.
