A quick and easy recipe for light, airy, and tender pancakes perfect for any morning. Made with simple pantry staples and a splash of buttermilk for extra fluffiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional: gluten-free flour blend (1:1 swap for all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick but pourable.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; a few small lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, the pan is ready.
  5. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet, leaving space between pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 90°C) while cooking remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best rise. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven. Adjust heat to avoid burning.
