Fluffy Buttermilk-Style Pancakes

🥞 American

Tall, cloud-soft pancakes with golden buttery edges — the weekend breakfast that needs only pantry staples.

Prep 10 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp, melted
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • Eggs2
  • Milk1.5 cups
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar3 tbsp
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Maple Syrupfor serving
  • Blueberries1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined — lumps are good. Overmixing makes rubbery pancakes.

  4. 4

    Rest the batter 5 minutes while the pan heats on medium-low. A drop of water should dance on the surface.

  5. 5

    Ladle 1/4 cup rounds onto a buttered pan. Scatter blueberries on top if using.

  6. 6

    Flip when bubbles pop on the surface and the edges look matte, about 2 minutes. Cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.

  7. 7

    Stack high, crown with butter and flood with warm maple syrup.

Chef's tip

The first pancake is the chef's sacrifice — use it to calibrate the heat, and never press down with the spatula.
