Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
How to Make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps—overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t press down on the pancakes while cooking; let them rise naturally.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the rest of the batch.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity twist.
- Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
- Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit for a decadent treat.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing complement.
- Greek yogurt for a creamy side option.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from the freezer in a toaster or microwave.
