Description

These buttermilk pancakes are incredibly light and fluffy, perfect for a comforting breakfast. Made with fresh buttermilk and a simple combination of ingredients, they come together quickly and deliver great flavor and texture every time.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup butter, melted


Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir these together to evenly distribute all the leavening agents and seasoning.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Heat the cooking surface: Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Test the surface by flicking a few drops of water; if they bead and sizzle, the pan is ready for cooking.
  4. Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or fork, stir just until the batter is blended but still lumpy. Do not overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour about ½ cup of batter per pancake onto the heated griddle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, roughly another 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Repeat cooking with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes hot and enjoy them with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are desirable.
  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning pancakes.
  • These pancakes freeze well and can be reheated in a toaster or oven.
