Description

I’m a pancake snob. Cake-like pancakes that absorb the syrup in 2 seconds are NOT my thing. After an extensive search for the perfect pancake recipe, I finally found it! I could eat these every day of my life. Really.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 whole Egg
  • Oil, For Cooking Pancakes

Preparation

Heat your oven to 200ºF (to keep your cooked pancakes warm). Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg together. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour the buttermilk mixture into the well, and gently whisk together until just incorporated with a few lumps remaining (don’t overmix). Heat your skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes before pouring your batter in. Brush the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of oil. Cook pancakes until golden brown on both sides.

These are the best pancakes! Have made these several times and they are now my go to recipe for pancakes. Hubby said this recipe is a keeper. There are never any leftovers! Thank you for sharing.

FANTASTIC!! This is the kind of recipe I was looking for. My family loved it, and the fact that it was super easy makes using a pre-made mix a thing of the past for me. Thanks for sharing!

Holy Moly those are good panckaes! I’ve never made pancakes that thick before so I was a little skeptical, but they were the bomb!

these are great! i added a little bit of vanilla and about 1/4 cup of cornmeal. very easy to make. i was a little leery of using oil instead of butter to grease the pan. in the end, i couldn’t do it; i had to use butter!

Yummy! I usually add 3 cups of buttermilk and 2 eggs. This makes more batter and thinner pancakes.

Awesome – and simple (no sifting or beating egg whites…) – they were sweet with all the sugar but really great!
