These are the Best Buttermilk Pancakes!
There is nothing like making pancakes on a weekend morning. My family lives for me making special breakfasts on the weekends! This recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes is so much better than a box of pre-made powdered pancake mix. And it’s so easy to make, and everyone is always appreciate of a homemade effort!
Ingredients needed for homemade buttermilk pancakes:
- flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- buttermilk
- vanilla
- oil
- egg
You’ll combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and all of the wet ingredients in another bowl. Combine the dry and the wet, and you’ve got your pancake batter.
You might want to buy:
- An Electric Griddle! I love my electric griddle for making pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. It’s nonstick, so nothing sticks and it’s super easy to clean. I especially love that you can make 6 pancakes at a time. Before I had a griddle, I made pancakes in a skillet, and I could only make one or two pancakes at a time. Having the griddle is a game changer!
The griddle heats nice and evenly, so you can make 6 pancakes at a time and they are all done at the same time! This is especially helpful if you have several hungry people waiting for pancakes. Feel free to double or triple the recipe.
You can eat a big stack of pancakes or just eat a couple. I love the big stack!
These buttermilk pancakes are so light and fluffy. Serve them with warm maple syrup and some berries, if you have them. Enjoy!

I made these today and my kids kept going on and on saying how good they were! This will be my new go-to pancake recipe! Thanks!!!
If you don’t have buttermilk, do you think regular milk (2%) would work and still taste good?
You need to have buttermilk, but you can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to regular milk.
These are a family hit. I made them for Christmas and I am officially the breakfast sister. They taste amazing!! I added vanilla extract for taste.
Made these this morning and they were delicious! So fluffy and light! I added a t. of vanilla for some added flavor and used coconut oil in place of vegetable oil. Great recipe!
Hi Lori,
I love this recipe…especially in Germany where there is no Bisquick.
