Buttermilk Pancakes
Description
Starting with a mixture of flour, leavening agents, salt, and sugar, the wet ingredients of buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract are gently whisked in, leaving some lumps for a tender crumb. The batter rests for 15 minutes to hydrate the flour and yield fluffier pancakes.
The pancakes are cooked on a hot skillet with butter or vegetable oil until bubbles form on the surface before flipping, resulting in golden brown pancakes with crisp, light edges and a soft, delicate center. The buttermilk adds a mild tang that complements the subtle sweetness of the batter.
These pancakes are suitable for a classic breakfast served with syrup, butter, or other toppings.
If no buttermilk is available, homemade substitutes can be made using common ingredients. Using vegetable oil when cooking helps achieve a lightly crispy exterior.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 egg large, lightly beaten
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
- Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract. Do not over mix - there will still be some lumps in the batter.
- Let your batter rest for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add butter or oil (vegetable oil preferred). Once the skillet is hot, add ⅓ cup cup of batter to make each pancake.
- When small bubbles appear on the surface of your pancake, flip it over (about 3 - 4 minutes). Each side should be cooked to golden brown.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute using common kitchen ingredients.
- Use vegetable oil or butter to cook pancakes; oil tends to produce a lightly crispy exterior.
- Heat the skillet before adding batter to ensure even cooking and browning.
