The Best Buttermilk Pancakes image

We're transporting you to the old-fashioned diner for a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes. Our recipe has both baking powder for an airy and light interior and baking soda for that even golden-brown exterior. We love the tang of buttermilk and the richness of butter for an even cakier stack. This recipe is easy enough for a fast breakfast with the kids or doubled for a weekend brunch with friends.

Time 25m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing
Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a medium bowl until incorporated. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

These pancakes are extra fluffy thanks to a shot of seltzer. Their large size is classic for diners, but you can make smaller, easier-to-flip pancakes by scooping 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto your griddle.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for getting crispy pancakes. Heat your griddle over medium-high heat before cooking the pancakes.
  • Grease the griddle lightly: Greasing the griddle lightly will help prevent the pancakes from sticking. You can use butter, cooking spray, or even a piece of bacon fat.
  • Cook the pancakes in batches: Don't overcrowd the griddle. Cook the pancakes in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Once the pancakes start to bubble around the edges, it's time to flip them. Flip the pancakes only once, otherwise they will become tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk pancakes are a classic breakfast food that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect buttermilk pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast, give these diner-style buttermilk pancakes a try.
