Learn how to make incredibly fluffy, diner-style pancakes with this easy buttermilk recipe from Kenji and Amaya at Whisk Daily. Perfect for a weekend breakfast treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. A few lumps are okay!
  4. Gently whisk in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy pancakes!

Notes

  • For extra tall pancakes, use a slightly thicker batter by reducing the buttermilk by a tablespoon or two.
  • Ensure your griddle is hot but not too hot, or the pancakes will burn before the inside cooks.
  • Buttermilk is key for tenderness and that classic tangy flavor. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 ¼ cups of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
