These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are light, airy, and perfect for a cozy homemade breakfast. Made with simple pantry staples, they deliver a tender crumb and subtle tang from buttermilk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (300ml) – or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (55g), melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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 together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until no large dry patches remain; a few small lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the leavening agents to react and create fluffiness.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3–5 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to 200°F (90°C) to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  9. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for best fluffiness. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges look set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven to prevent sogginess.
