Classic buttermilk pancakes made from scratch, fluffy and tender with a rich vanilla flavor. This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients to create the perfect breakfast staple that’s easy to whip up any morning.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups (473ml) buttermilk
  • 3 Tbsp (43g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted and cooled unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine for tender pancakes.
  4. Preheat Griddle or Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly grease with butter or oil if necessary.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, use 2 cups of milk mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use a medium heat to avoid burning pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
  • Pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) if needed.
  • For extra flavor, add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
