Classic Buttermilk Pancakes Breakfast
Tall, tender pancakes made with real buttermilk for a tangy flavor and an airy, cloud-like crumb. Stacked high and finished with butter and maple syrup, they are the ultimate lazy-morning breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cupall-purpose flour
- 2 tbspgranulated sugar
- 2 tspbaking powder
- 0.5 tspbaking soda
- 0.5 tspsalt
- 0.5 cupmaple syrup
- 2 cupbuttermilk
- 2eggs
- 3 tbspunsalted butter
Steps
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly so it does not scramble the eggs.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until smooth, then whisk in most of the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently just until combined; the batter should stay lumpy.
- Let the batter rest undisturbed for 5 minutes while you heat the pan.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with the remaining butter.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake, leaving space between each.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look dry.
- Flip each pancake and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
- Stack the pancakes, top with butter, and pour over the warm maple syrup before serving.
Tips
- Do not overmix the batter — stir just until the flour disappears and leave the lumps, or the pancakes turn tough.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the baking powder activates and the pancakes rise higher.
- Cook on medium heat; flip only when bubbles form on top and the edges look set.
- Keep finished pancakes warm in a 90°C/200°F oven while you cook the rest of the batch.
