About This Recipe
Nothing says "slow weekend morning" quite like a stack of warm buttermilk pancakes. Buttermilk gives them a gentle tang and a wonderfully light, fluffy texture, while a little melted butter keeps them tender.
The most important tip? Do not overmix. A few small lumps in the batter are exactly what you want — they are the secret to pancakes that rise tall instead of turning tough.
Tips for Success
- No buttermilk? Stir 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into 2 cups of milk and let it stand for 5 minutes.
- If the first pancake browns too quickly, lower the heat slightly.
- Freeze leftover pancakes between sheets of parchment; reheat in the toaster.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined. Small lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it.
- Pour about ⅓ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden. Keep warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
- Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Questions & Answers
Why are my pancakes flat?
Overmixing the batter or using old baking powder are the most common causes. Stir just until combined and check the date on your leavening.
Can I add blueberries?
Yes. Drop a few berries onto each pancake right after pouring the batter onto the griddle, rather than stirring them into the bowl.
