Here’s a classic and fluffy homemade pancake recipe — golden on the outside, soft and airy inside. Perfect for breakfast or brunch with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or any topping you like.
🥞✨ Classic Buttermilk Pancakes (or use regular milk if needed)
🧾 Ingredients (Makes about 8–10 pancakes):
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda (omit if not using buttermilk)
-
½ tsp salt
-
1 ¼ cups buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar)
-
1 large egg
-
2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for the pan)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Mix wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).
3. Combine:
Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until just combined — lumps are okay! Don’t overmix, or pancakes may be tough.
4. Preheat your pan:
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil.
5. Cook pancakes:
Scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2 minutes).
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
6. Serve hot:
Top with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or any favorite toppings.
📝 Variations:
-
Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas to the batter
-
Use whole wheat flour for a hearty version
-
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for cozy flavor
