A simple and easy homemade recipe for soft, fluffy pancakes with a delicate tang of buttermilk, perfect for cozy breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) buttermilk (full-fat recommended)
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs carefully, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Measure out dry ingredients and buttermilk. (5 minutes)
  2. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside gently. (3-5 minutes)
  3. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. (2 minutes)
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (2-3 minutes)
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. (2 minutes)
  6. Carefully fold in whipped egg whites in three additions, folding gently each time to maintain volume. (3 minutes)
  7. Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. (2-3 minutes)
  8. Using a 1/4 cup ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. (10-12 minutes total)
  9. Place cooked pancakes on a plate and loosely cover with foil or a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  10. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or butter.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash of buttermilk to loosen. Do not overmix batter to avoid tough pancakes. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles form and edges look dry. Use fresh leavening agents for best rise. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
