Easy homemade recipe for perfect, fluffy buttermilk pancakes that are light, airy, and full of nostalgic comfort. Perfect for breakfast or brunch with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) buttermilk, preferably full-fat
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agents and prevent clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Some lumps are fine; avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes at room temperature to activate the baking powder and soda.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle, it’s ready.
  6. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Use a 1/4 cup ladle to pour batter onto the hot surface.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Place cooked pancakes on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch. Serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Adjust heat if pancakes brown too quickly or cook unevenly. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making a large batch.
