These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are quick and easy to make, with a tender crumb and a light, airy texture that rivals your favorite diner. Perfect for busy mornings or cozy weekend brunches.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the leavening agents.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they dance and evaporate quickly, it’s ready.
  6. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or butter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Let the batter rest to activate leavening agents. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best results. Preheat skillet properly and cook pancakes on medium heat. Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking to keep them fluffy. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend and adjust batter thickness as needed. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond or oat milk plus vinegar and use a flax egg instead of a chicken egg.
