Classic fluffy pancakes made with buttermilk that reacts with baking soda for the best texture. The batter is mixed minimally to preserve lumps that create fluffiness. Cook on low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.

Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 4 servings
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
- Step 1Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Melt the butter and let it cool before using.
- Step 2In a bowl combine the dry ingredients: add the baking powder, baking soda and salt to the flour and mix well.
- Step 3In a separate bowl add the egg, buttermilk, sugar, cooled melted butter and vanilla. Mix well.
- Step 4Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently until the flour just disappears. Do not overmix; a few lumps are desirable to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Step 5Heat a non-stick pan on the lowest heat setting. When the pan is warm (you can feel gentle heat when holding your hand above it), scoop the thick batter using an ice cream scoop. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook the second side. Repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
- All ingredients should be at room temperature.
- If buttermilk is unavailable, substitute with the same amount of milk mixed with 1 tsp white vinegar and left to stand for about 5 minutes.
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps help create a fluffy texture.
- Use a non-stick pan on the lowest heat to prevent burning the outside before the inside is cooked. No additional butter is needed in the pan.
