A simple and reliable recipe for fluffy buttermilk pancakes with irresistibly crisp edges, perfect for cozy breakfasts and crowd-pleasing brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice/vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be lumpy but without dry flour patches. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes until hot enough that a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil while cooking remaining batter.
  8. Serve immediately with desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or butter.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to avoid burning edges. Wipe skillet lightly with butter between batches to maintain crispness. If batter is too thick, add a splash of buttermilk; if too thin, add a little more flour.
