These fluffy buttermilk pancakes from scratch are quick, easy, and perfect for cozy mornings. They deliver a light, tender texture with a subtle tang from buttermilk, making them a comforting breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2g) baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.
  6. Using a 1/4 cup ladle, pour batter onto the hot surface, leaving space between pancakes.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better texture. Letting the batter rest is key for fluffiness. Control heat to medium to prevent burning. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges are dry. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven on a wire rack to avoid sogginess.
