The ultimate easy homemade fluffy pancakes recipe! Incredible thick, soft, and buttery pancakes made from scratch. Best weekend breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups thick buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large whole eggs
- 3 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in one bowl.
- Whisk buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla together in a separate bowl.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently, leaving lumps.
- Heat a buttered griddle over medium-low heat.
- Pour batter into rounds and cook until bubbles form and pop on the surface.
- Flip once and cook the second side until golden.
- Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
Notes
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the leaveners to fully activate.
- Wait for surface bubbles to form and pop before flipping, rather than guessing on timing.
- Never overmix the batter; visible lumps are a sign of properly tender, fluffy pancakes.
