A simple and honest recipe for tender, fluffy pancakes with a slight tang from buttermilk, perfect for cozy breakfasts and crowd-pleasing mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or spoon. Stir just until combined; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.
  5. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels to keep from getting soggy.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes if possible. Cook on medium heat and flip only once when bubbles appear and edges look set. Grease skillet sparingly to avoid frying pancakes.
