Description
Buttermilk pancakes are a classic breakfast favorite known for their fluffy texture and tangy flavor, enhanced by the use of buttermilk. These pancakes are perfect for any occasion and can be easily customized with various toppings or additions like fruits, chocolate chips, or even banana.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
- For variations, consider adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana to the batter.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
- Freeze pancakes by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and transferring them to a freezer-safe bag once frozen.
- To reheat, use a toaster, skillet, or microwave for quick results.
- For vegan pancakes, replace the buttermilk with non-dairy milk and use a flax egg.
- For a healthier alternative, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
