A simple and easy homemade breakfast recipe for soft, airy pancakes with a tangy buttermilk flavor, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, preferably sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, beaten egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow gluten to relax and leavening to activate.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Test by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Using a ladle or ¼-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot surface.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the rest.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Use real buttermilk for best flavor and texture. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges are set. Keep cooked pancakes warm covered with foil.
