Goldie's Best Buttermilk Pancakes
Description
Goldie's Best Buttermilk Pancakes use a simple blend of flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. The batter retains some lumps, which is typical for pancake batter and helps keep them tender. Cooking over medium-low heat prevents the exterior from browning too quickly while ensuring the inside cooks fully. The pancakes develop small bubbles on top when ready to flip, yielding a soft and flaky texture when done. Toppings like strawberries, bananas, berries, whipped cream, and real maple syrup complement their mild flavor.
This recipe is suited for a classic breakfast or brunch, providing a warm, satisfying base that pairs well with a variety of toppings or sides. The versatility in buttermilk amount allows for thicker or thinner pancakes depending on preference. Serving them warm preserves their softness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 egg
- 4 cups buttermilk (may use up to 4 1/2 cups of buttermilk if you want thinner pancakes)
- 6 Tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar, and stir until combined. Add eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter and whisk to combine. The batter should have some lumps. Embrace the pancake batter lumps.
- Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Test for readiness by sprinkling some water on a pan and if it spatters off the griddle, it's hot enough.
- Coat with butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Using a 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter onto pan.
- When bubbles appear on top of the pancake, flip to cook the other side. Watch carefully as pancakes can brown quickly. Keep it at a lower heat to ensure that the inside gets cooked through without the outside getting too brown. Serve warm.
- Top with strawberries, bananas, berries, whipped cream, and real maple syrup.
