A forgiving and delicious pancake recipe featuring fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with a cozy cinnamon maple butter, perfect for busy mornings or relaxed brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, shaken (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Maple Butter:
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined (about 2 minutes).
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth (1-2 minutes).
  3. Fold wet into dry: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined; some lumps are fine (about 1 minute).
  4. Preheat skillet: Place skillet or griddle over medium heat and warm for about 5 minutes; test by sprinkling water drops that should sizzle and evaporate.
  5. Cook pancakes: Lightly butter skillet before first pancake. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Make cinnamon maple butter: While pancakes cook, combine softened butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl; mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve immediately: Stack pancakes and dollop cinnamon maple butter on top. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) if needed.

Notes

If batter thickens during cooking, add a splash of buttermilk to loosen. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking for tender texture. Adjust skillet heat to avoid burning. Do not press pancakes while cooking.
