Fluffy buttermilk pancakes paired with a homemade sweet berry compote create a comforting and fresh breakfast that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, cold
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients (5 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 3 ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sugar.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients (3 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups cold buttermilk, 1 large room-temperature egg, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Make the Batter (2 minutes): Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Gently fold with a spatula or spoon until just combined—don’t overmix.
  4. Rest the Batter (10 minutes): Let the batter sit at room temperature to activate the baking powder.
  5. Cook the Pancakes (15 minutes): Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges set (2-3 minutes), flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Make the Sweet Berry Compote (10 minutes): In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups mixed berries, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Stir occasionally until berries soften. Add cornstarch slurry if thicker compote is desired and cook 1 more minute.
  7. Serve Warm: Stack pancakes and spoon warm berry compote over the top. Optionally add butter or maple syrup.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder and cold buttermilk for maximum fluffiness. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes tender. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven. The berry compote can be thickened with cornstarch slurry if desired.
