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

pantry
  • 2 cupall-purpose flour
  • 2 tbspgranulated sugar
  • 2 tspbaking powder
  • 0.5 tspbaking soda
  • 0.5 tspsalt
  • 0.5 cupmaple syrup
dairy
  • 2 cupbuttermilk
  • 2eggs
  • 3 tbspunsalted butter

Steps

  1. Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly so it does not scramble the eggs.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs until smooth, then whisk in most of the melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently just until combined; the batter should stay lumpy.
  5. Let the batter rest undisturbed for 5 minutes while you heat the pan.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with the remaining butter.
  7. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake, leaving space between each.
  8. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look dry.
  9. Flip each pancake and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  10. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
  11. 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.
