Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe
This delicious Buttermilk Pancakes recipe produces light and fluffy pancakes that are so easy to make from scratch!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk*
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, + more for greasing the pan
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs egg yolks and whites separated
Instructions
- In two bowls, separate the egg yolks and the egg whites. Set aside. (I recommend using a medium bowl for the egg whites to allow you to whip them up easily).
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk together.
- To the dry ingredients, add the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg yolks. Whisk them together to form a batter.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. [I use a hand mixer for this as it is quicker and easier but it can be done by hand.]
- Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter until incorporated. Be gentle when folding them in so as not to deflate them. [The egg whites help achieve thick, fluffy pancakes.]
- Heat a griddle or pan at medium heat and add a bit of butter to prevent sticking. Pour about 1/3 cup-1/2 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for a couple of minutes on one side until bubbles begin to form and then flip the pancakes and cook for another couple of minutes.
Notes
*If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
