Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
There's nothing quite like a stack of warm, homemade pancakes to elevate a lazy weekend morning. This recipe yields delightfully fluffy pancakes with a hint of tang from the buttermilk.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Butter or oil, for greasing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the melted butter into the buttermilk mixture and whisk again.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Whisk until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles forming on the surface are a good indicator it's time to flip.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Chef's Tips
- Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for best results.
- Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing develops gluten, leading to tough pancakes.
- Adjust heat as needed. If pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce heat.
