Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Making pancakes can be tricky if you don’t know what your doing but once you know the trick of making pancakes they are easy to make.   Below is my recipe and my step by step instructions for how to make some delicious and fluffy buttermilk pancakes that your whole family will love.

Ingredients:

2 cups of all purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoons of baking soda
3 tablespoons of sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups of buttermilk
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
4 tablespoons of butter, melted and cooled
Vegetable oil for griddle

Instructions:

Take a medium mixing bowl and add in your flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt and whisk your ingredients together.  Now take a large mixing bowl and add in your eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract and butter and mix your ingredients together until they are fully mixed together.   Now, take your dry ingredients and slowly add them in a little at a time and mix your ingredients together until all of your dry ingredients are mixed in with your wet.  Do not over mix or your batter will be tough, so mix just until your ingredients have come together and you have a nice batter.

Now preheat your oven to 175 degrees F.

Now, take a griddle and pour just a bit of vegetable oil on the griddle and use a paper towel to coat the griddle lightly. Now place your griddle over a medium heat. When your surface is hot take a ladle and pour about 1/3 of a cup of your batter onto the griddle and spread your batter into a circle using the back of your ladle.  Spread your pancakes about 3 inches apart. You will have to work in batches.

While the pancakes cook you will see some bubbles form in the batter. When the bubbles begin to pop, your pancakes are ready to be flipped so take a spatula and gently flip them over and then cook until golden brown on the bottom. This should take 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove your buttermilk pancakes and place them on a baking sheet and place your baking sheet in your preheated oven to keep warm.  Now, continue to make your pancakes as shown above until you have used up all of your batter.  Serve your buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup.
