Make light, airy, and perfectly fluffy buttermilk pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe yields tender stacks ideal for any weekend brunch or quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently whisk in the 6 tablespoons of melted butter until incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. When bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, flip the pancake.
  8. Cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, do not stir the batter once the butter is added; just fold it in.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add one tablespoon of extra buttermilk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining batter.
