This recipe delivers pillowy-soft, tender pancakes with a subtle tang from buttermilk, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  5. Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  9. Serve pancakes stacked with a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup and optional butter or fresh fruit.

Notes

Mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined to keep batter light and avoid tough pancakes. Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes. Cook on medium heat and avoid pressing pancakes with spatula to maintain fluffiness. Substitute buttermilk with milk plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
