Make diner-quality fluffy pancakes at home for a special weekend breakfast that your family will love. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients for light, airy pancakes with crisp edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Gently stir in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh.
  • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 3/4 cups of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for a complete meal.
