Description

Light and fluffy homemade buttermilk pancakes that can be prepared ahead of time. Perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  2. In another bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Let batter rest for 10 minutes.

  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look set (2-3 minutes).

Notes

  • Batter can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight. Add 1-2 tablespoons milk before cooking if needed.
  • For dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter and alternative milk with vinegar instead of buttermilk.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for best results.
