Description
Fluffy, tender buttermilk pancakes with a lightly tangy flavor and golden-brown edges. Perfect for breakfast and easy to customize with blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- Butter or oil, for greasing the skillet
- Maple syrup and toppings, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine; do not overmix.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; small lumps help keep the pancakes fluffy.
- If using frozen blueberries, fold them gently into the batter just before cooking.
- For a buttermilk substitute, mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup milk and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while preparing the remaining batches.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
