Print Recipe

Classic homemade fluffy buttermilk pancakes that are tender, airy, and perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry staples and no fancy gadgets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes (optional) to allow the baking agents to activate and the flour to hydrate.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Using a ¼-cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F) to keep warm while finishing the rest.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are fine. Use medium-low heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning. Resting the batter for 5-10 minutes improves texture but is optional. Use a flexible spatula for easy flipping. If pancakes brown too fast but are raw inside, lower the heat. Butter adds flavor but can burn; use oil for higher smoke point if preferred.
