Why Use Buttermilk?

Pancakes aren’t as hard as folks make them out to be, and buttermilk is the key to it: ultra-fluffy pancakes. The acidity of the drink reacts with baking soda and creates air bubbles that produce a soft and airy texture. It also gives your pancakes a subtle tanginess and much more.

Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4):

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

2 Tbsp Sugar

1 Tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Tsp Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp Salt

2 Large Eggs

2 Cups Buttermilk

Unsalted Butter, Melted 1/4 Cup

1 Vanilla Extract (optional) 1 Tsp

Butter or Oil for Cooking

Instructions:

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

Sift the baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir them into the flour and sugar.

2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:

For the buttermilk, whisk the melted butter, vanilla extract, and the buttermilk until very smooth in another bowl.

3. Make the Batter:

Pour the wet ingredients into dry and gently stir. Combine, mixing just until combined; the batter is fine if it’s a little lumpy. The problem with overmixing is that they get dense.

4. Heat the Pan:

Heat a non stick skillet or griddle to medium. Butter or oil lightly.

5. Cook the Pancakes:

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.

The surface looks set, bubbles form on the surface and the edges, and cook for 2–3 minutes.

Cook the dishes on both sides flipping them and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve:

Place the pancakes on a plate and serve it warm with butter and syrup or your favorite toppings.
