Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes
The best Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk slightly warmed
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract and melted butter until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—don't overmix! Now let the batter rest for 10-20 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Continue with the remaining batter. Serve with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe makes 10-12 medium pancakes.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure the mixture comes together smoothly.
- When incorporating melted butter into the milk, slightly warm the milk so the butter doesn't solidify when mixed together.
- Don't overmix the batter—lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 10-20 minutes before cooking. This step helps create super fluffy pancakes!
