Perfect Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes
Just as the name states.. these buttermilk pancakes are perfect! Fluffy, buttery and delicious. My family's favorite pancakes and the only recipe we use!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbs unsalted butter melted
- 3 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup, measure milk and add vinegar. Stir slightly and set aside to allow the mixture to "sour" for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a well in the center and add milk mixture, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Add mix-ins now. Stir all ingredients together just until there are no visible flour pockets remaining. Please note: You do not want to over mix this batter - it should be a little lumpy. If the batter is completely smooth and runny, you will have flat pancakes - which taste equally delicious but flat. Set batter aside to rest.
- Turn griddle on medium low heat and add butter or non-stick cooking spray. Pour about 2 tbs-¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Once you see a few bubbles on top and underneath is golden brown, flip and cook the other side - about 2 minutes on each side. Continue the cooking process for the rest of the batter.
- Serve pancakes immediately with some butter, maple syrup, whipped cream or whatever your little heart desires!
Notes
Storage instructions: Pancakes will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing tips: Once pancakes are completely cool, immediately package the pancakes into freezer-safe bags. Doing this step as soon as they cool ensures they will keep their freshness. I usually do about 6 pancakes per bag for ease to get them apart, they usually separate very easily. To thaw: place pancakes in a single layer in the microwave and heat for about 20-25 seconds in their frozen state or until they are warm. You can also put frozen pancakes into the toaster.
