Print Recipe

These fluffy homemade buttermilk pancakes are soft, tender, and perfect for a cozy breakfast or weekend brunch. Made from simple ingredients and a special folding technique, they deliver a light texture with a gentle tang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 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, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula just until combined; some lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil before the first pancake only.
  5. Using a ¼ cup (60 ml) measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Place cooked pancakes on a cooling rack or warm oven rack (200°F / 95°C) to keep warm while finishing the batch.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes if possible to hydrate the flour and improve fluffiness. Flip pancakes only once. Preheat the pan properly and adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
