Print Recipe

Classic diner-style fluffy buttermilk pancakes made from scratch with simple ingredients, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly 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, beat the egg with the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes about 4 inches in diameter.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and tent with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Flip pancakes only once for best texture. If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk. Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking.
