This recipe delivers the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes with a tender, airy texture and a perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. Easy to make in under 20 minutes, it’s ideal for a comforting breakfast or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

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

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 the buttermilk, egg, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, it’s ready.
  5. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven while finishing the batch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine to keep pancakes tender and airy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven. Add a tablespoon of buttermilk if batter thickens during cooking.
