A quick and easy recipe for perfectly fluffy pancakes that deliver nostalgic comfort and a golden crisp edge, ideal for cozy breakfasts and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) buttermilk (or dairy-free milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice as substitute)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; some small lumps are okay. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour batter onto the pan using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip gently and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve immediately with desired toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes if possible for fluffier results. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 95°C) if needed.
