Pancakes made with buttermilk are probably my favorite kind of pancakes. This recipe yields thick, flavorful pancakes every time. They're perfect for any breakfast or brunch - topped with savory bacon or sweet blueberries, they're delicious.
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour - 2 cups
- sugar - 2 tbsp
- baking powder - 2 tsp
- baking soda - 1 tsp
- salt - 1/2 tsp
- eggs - 2
- buttermilk - 2 cups
- milk - 1/2 cup
- butter - 1/4 cup (55g), melted
- oil - for griddle (I use butter)
- fruit or nuts - optional (I always add blueberries, bananas and/or nuts are great too)
how to
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Lightly beat the eggs with the buttermilk, milk and melted butter.
- Just before you’re ready to cook the pancakes, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once, and stir just long enough to blend. The batter should be lumpy. If you want to add fruit or nuts, stir them in now, or you can sprinkle them on the pancakes when they’re on the griddle.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or heavy skillet over medium-high heat (375 degrees on an electric griddle). Pour 1/2 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet, spacing the pancakes apart so they don’t run together.
- When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the undersides are lightly browned, turn and cook for about 1 – 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned on the bottom.
- Serve immediately on warmed plates with the topping of your choice, or keep warm in the oven.
Honestly, I have never had bad pancakes until I made these. I followed the recipe EXACTLY, even tried to mix it very little so the batter would be lumpy and used my electric griddle set to 375. Nope, it became this liquid soupy mess within 4 stirs with a whisk. There is just too much liquid for this recipe (and I followed the recipe exactly), the milk should have been omitted, and the buttermilk down to 1 & 3/4 cups. I had to add more flour so I didn’t make any more puddle on my griddle, which happened when I tried testing this soup of a batter… Terrible.
omit the milk and use on 1 & 3/4 cups of buttermilk to make this recipe work…
I’m so sorry they didn’t work for you. I’ve been making these pancakes exactly as is for years, and I’ve never had that issue. Thanks so much for the feedback.
Going to try this. Thanks!
These pancakes were the best! I followed the recipe 100% and they turned out perfectly, the entire family enjoyed them (with berries on the side). Definately our new pancake recipe! thanks
