Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes are made by gently mixing dry ingredients including flour, sugar, leavening agents, and salt with a wet mixture of eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. The batter creates tender pancakes with bubbles that signal when to flip for a golden exterior. This method yields pancakes with a soft, airy texture and subtle tang due to buttermilk, ideal for a classic breakfast served with desired toppings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 TB sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ⅔ tsp table salt
  • 2 egg room temp, large
  • 4 TB butter melted, salted
  • 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • cooking oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, use a hand whisk to combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well incorporated.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, butter, and buttermilk until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until dry flour streaks are gone; some little lumps are fine.
  3. Heat a large skillet with low sides, coated with enough oil to prevent sticking, over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cup fulls of batter; once bubbles appear and start to pop on top surface, gently flip pancakes and continue cooking until golden brown on both sides. Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Substitute buttermilk by combining 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice with whole milk to make 1 3/4 cups; let sit 15 minutes before using.
  • Buttermilk powder is an alternative to liquid buttermilk and has long shelf life when refrigerated.
  • Pancakes freeze well; reheat in toaster or oven to maintain texture.
  • Stabilized whipped cream is recommended as a topping to keep cream fluffy longer on the pancakes.
