How to Make Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly buttered griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and set aside to keep warm.

Helpful Tips

• Batter Consistency: If the batter is too thick, feel free to thin it with a bit of milk. If it’s too runny, add a tablespoon of flour.
• Perfect Flip: Wait until bubbles form and pop on the surface of the pancake before flipping. This ensures a golden-brown finish.
• Keep Warm: Keep pancakes warm in a low oven until you’re ready to serve, so everyone can enjoy hot pancakes at once.

Substitutions/Variations

• Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour for your favorite gluten-free blend.
• Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or oat milk instead of buttermilk and replace butter with coconut oil.
• Add-Ins: Mix things like blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices directly into the batter for an extra special touch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time? A: Yes! Prepare the batter the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a gentle stir before cooking.

Q: How do I make my pancakes fluffy? A: Avoid overmixing the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

Storage Instructions

Pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the microwave or in a toaster for a quick, delicious breakfast.
