A simple and easy recipe for light, tender, and fluffy buttermilk pancakes perfect for a cozy brunch for two. Made with pantry staples and fresh buttermilk, these pancakes offer a subtle tang and soft texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Batter may be a little lumpy.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, it’s ready.
  5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the pan.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover lightly with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Cook on medium heat and avoid pressing pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy.
