There is something truly comforting about the smell of pancakes cooking on the stove. These are my go to recipe because they turn out light and airy every single time without any extra fuss.

I love serving these with a big pat of butter and a drizzle of real maple syrup. If you have any extra fruit in the kitchen, toss some blueberries or sliced strawberries right onto the batter while the pancakes are cooking in the pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk, melted butter, and the egg.

  3. 3

    Mix everything together until just combined, but be careful not to overmix as a few small lumps are perfectly fine.

  4. 4

    Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.

  5. 5

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.

  6. 6

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in the toaster. You can also freeze these between sheets of parchment paper for a quick breakfast on busy weekdays.
