Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
This simple recipe ensures a stack of golden goodness
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or mixing spoon
- Griddle or non-stick skillet
- Ladle or measuring cup
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs large
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk and melted butter. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
- Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour mix onto the griddle to form pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat until all the mix is used, adjusting heat as needed.
- Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings – maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra-fluffy pancakes, let the mix rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the thickness of the mix to your preference by adding more or less buttermilk.
- Experiment with flavored add-ins like vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chocolate chips for unique variations.
- Keep pancakes warm by placing them in a 200°F (93°C) oven while finishing the entire batch.
- Don't press down on pancakes while cooking; this can make them less fluffy.
- Customize your toppings to suit your taste – from classic syrup to nut butter, the possibilities are endless!
