Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg large
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • butter or oil for cooking
  • maple syrup serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup.

    I don’t know what I did wrong, but mine came out flat and chewy. Not sure if I mixed too much or what.

    Just ok. I prefer waffles, they are much better. 😂

    Yummy pancakes! Just a heads up, I used almond milk instead of buttermilk because I had none and it worked great!

    Classic pancakes! My family always asks for these on Sundays. They taste just like the diner ones!

    Mmm, tasted good but they were a bit dense. Maybe I mixed too much? 🤔

    Why use buttermilk? Regular milk worked fine for me. So overrated.

    Flour is overrated, I use this gluten-free mix. Pancakes are still awesome! Gotta live life gluten-free. 🥞💪

      I get what you’re saying! Gluten-free options are great too! But, like, isn’t flour kinda the foundation of pancakes? 🤔

      I don’t know about that. Pancakes should be made with flour. Gluten-free mix? Nah, I won’t try.

    This recipe isn’t very specific. What if my buttermilk is old? Can I just use normal milk? 🤬

      Awesome! Love to hear that! 😍 Did you add any fruit or toppings?

    Honestly, I don’t see what the hype is about pancakes. They’re just fluffy bread. But I guess kids love them.

    Are they supposed to be sweet? I feel like more sugar is needed. Not bad, tho.

    I expected better. My kids didn’t even eat them. I guess they are not for everyone. 😕

    I don’t know, my pancakes were kinda flat. Followed the recipe exactly, but they didn’t rise much. 🤷‍♂️
