The Best Buttermilk Pancakes

Servings: 12 pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
It's not an exaggeration— these really are the best buttermilk pancakes! They're light, fluffy, and full of flavor.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (457 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (56 grams) unsalted butter , melted and slightly cooled
  • Additional butter or oil, for the pan

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat and grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4-1/2 cup of batter (depending on pan size and desired pancake size) into the pan and cook until edges appear dry and bubbles are visible on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the toaster.
