Buttermilk Pancakes

I take my breakfast seriously. Like, very seriously. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, with dessert, obvi, coming in a close second. If you asked my family what my “specialty” was in the kitchen, it would be breakfast, for sure.

I love it all: waffles, french toast, casseroles, sausage gravy, biscuits, eggs anyway I can get ’em, muffins, and pancakes, glorious pancakes. Man do I love pancakes. My Nana had the most amazing pancake recipe and then she’d make her own maple syrup and it was poured, piping hot, on top of a hunk of butter and the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes and my life was complete.

Pure bliss I tell you.

The Secret to the BEST Pancakes

The secret ingredient to pancakes is buttermilk. I’ve had millions of pancakes in my time and tried many pancake recipes. Thee very best of those were made with buttermilk. There is the trick of adding vinegar to milk to make your own buttermilk and while this is an adequate substitute, I think the real thing is better for sure. But honestly, use what you have on hand. I use buttermilk for a lot of recipes like Buttermilk Ranch Oven Fried Chicken and Chicken Fried Steak.

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, I wanted to make sure were equipped with the BEST fluffy buttermilk pancakes recipe out there…this one. I mean, just look at them!

Tips for Making the Best Pancakes

  • I like to use a griddle when making pancakes. It’s much more efficient and an easier way to feed the masses, i.e, my growing boys.
  • Don’t over mix the pancake batter. Small lumps are perfectly acceptable!
  • Give your batter a little time to rest after mixing it together. I use this time to preheat the griddle, set out plates, get my syrup warming, etc.
  • Serve your syrup warm, if not hot. It helps the butter melt and spreads all that awesomeness all over the place.

I don’t know about you, but I think breakfast for dinner should be a weekly occurrence with these pancakes as the star of the show.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl or, as I frequently do, a large glass measuring cup.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract just until combined. Some small lumps are okay.
  • Let pancake batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Spray with non-stick cooking spray OR brush with butter or oil.
  • Ladle 1/3 - 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  • Flip the pancakes over when small bubbles appear on the surface and continue cooking on the opposite side until golden brown.
  • Serve with butter and syrup.

    Really great recipe.
    I made these for the first time two weeks ago and loved them. The second time I added some fresh blueberries to the pancakes on the skillet, and they were great too.

    Wow. I’m not usually a fan of buttermilk pancakes – pumpkin oat pancakes reign supreme in this house – but this recipe is a top contender. Admittedly, I was totally lacking in buttermilk and substituted plain Greek yogurt with a splash of 3.25% to loosen it up, but maaaannnn, the flavor just burst in these pancakes. This recipe is making it to our next family and friends brunch! Thanks for sharing it!

    NAIL HIT ON HEAD. As I sit here enjoying these wonderful pancakes I felt compelled to thank you… I’ve made buttermilk pancakes before but your proportion of ingredients is spot on! As first the Batter looked a little dense but they cooked up perfect! Thank you. I’ll be printing this one as I certainly don’t want to lose it on my phone. Great job!

    This is hands down the BEST pancake recipe I have ever tried. My wife was never a fan of pancakes until I made this recipe and she asks for these pancakes all the time now. Thank you so much!

    I don’t always drop a review but after trying out your pancake recipe today, I just have too. Fluffy as hell, and incredibly tasty. I added melted butter because who doesn’t like butter and it turned out extra tasty. I swear this is probably the same recipe IHop uses, the taste and consistency just reminded me of it. Thanks for the post and good job with your recipe.

    I confirm. These are the BEST, fluffiest, buttermilkiest pancakes ever, everywhere.
    Not overbeating the batter, not adding any fats to it, giving it some time to fluff up, their subtle saltiness to emphasize any sweet toppings.. this is perfection.

    Thank you!

    Really delicious! After eating boxed pancake mix for ages, you can really taste the difference. Kids loved them and kept on asking for more!
