Buttermilk Pancakes

Sometimes, the calories are worth it. 😉 The pancakes are a family favorite. I double the recipe and make a bunch of small cakes to freeze.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. 2In another bowl, mix all wet ingredients. If the batter is too thick, you can always add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. •But for extra fluffy cakes, separate the egg whites and whisk them until they form stiff white peaks and set aside.
  3. 3Combine wet and dry ingredients until there’s no dry flour. If you separated the egg whites, you’ll add them in with a spatula and gently fold them in (you want to avoid knocking the air out of them).
  4. 4Warm up a pan or electric griddle over medium heat, let the pan get hot. Melt some butter in the pan but be sure to wipe off the excess. Once the pan is hot, try a tester cake first. The batter should sizzle when it hits the pan. Silver dollar pancakes take about a minute per side.
  5. 5Freezer and reheating instructions: allow pancakes to completely cool. Place them in a freezer safe bag. I stack them 3 high. Placing parchment paper between the layers may help with the sticking. When your ready for a stack later in the week, just put them on a microwave safe plate (cakes separated not stacked) and nuke for 45-60 sec.

A Stack Worth Getting Up For

Buttermilk is what makes a pancake tender instead of tough, with those crisp lacy edges and a little tang behind the sweetness. Once you've made them from scratch, the boxed stuff never tastes the same.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these on slow Saturday mornings, on school days when everybody needs feeding fast, and on the nights when breakfast for dinner is the only thing that sounds good.

Every recipe here is a real buttermilk pancake: Buttermilk Pancakes with brown sugar, Super Easy Buttermilk Pancakes for a hurry, Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, Granny Parrott's with self-rising flour, a pancake casserole, and a homemade mix to keep in the pantry.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Stop stirring early

    Mix just until the flour disappears, about 10 strokes. Lumps are fine and they cook out; overmixing makes tough, flat pancakes.

  2. 2

    Let the batter rest

    Give it 10 minutes on the counter before the first pour so the baking powder and soda start working and the flour hydrates.

  3. 3

    Keep the pan medium

    Medium heat, around 350°F on an electric griddle, cooks them through in 2 to 3 minutes a side without burning the outside.

  4. 4

    Flip only once

    Wait until bubbles break across the top and the edges look dry, then turn. A second flip presses out the air you just built.
