Print Recipe

This recipe delivers fluffy, tender buttermilk pancakes from scratch with simple pantry ingredients, perfect for cozy weekend mornings or last-minute brunches.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Fold wet into dry: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 10 minutes to activate leavening agents and create a fluffier texture.
  5. Heat the pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat until water droplets dance and evaporate quickly.
  6. Cook pancakes: Lightly grease the pan. Using a ¼ cup measure, pour batter onto the pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Keep warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and tent loosely with foil while finishing the rest.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes for best fluffiness. Use room temperature eggs and dairy. Preheat pan properly and flip pancakes only once. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) if making a large batch.
