Description

This recipe creates light, tender pancakes with a slightly tangy flavor, thanks to the buttermilk.

They cook up golden and soft, making them perfect for topping with butter and syrup or your favorite add-ons.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; the batter should have small lumps.
  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Test by sprinkling water—it should sizzle.
  5. Use a ½-cup scoop to pour batter onto the griddle.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
