    Aren’t buttermilk pancakes just the best childhood memory you have? I loved making homemade pancakes with my mom. She would always throw in fresh blueberries or yummy chocolate chips and I loved it. I remember one morning I just got dressed and ready for school and my mom had fresh blueberry pancakes ready for me. At first slice into the pancake, blueberry juice splattered all over my white shirt! I swear blueberries are just super messy and I have the worst luck with spilling on my clothes. But I will never forget how much my mom baked and cooked for us growing up. She was the prime example to me and is the reason I love baking so much today! Love you mom!

    Buttermilk pancakes

    Are you in the mood for a delicious and wholesome breakfast? Look no further than these mouthwatering buttermilk pancakes! Here's a simple recipe that will have you flipping pancakes like a pro in no time.

    Equipment

    • Electric Griddle (this is the one I have!)
    • Whisk (my favorite ever whisk)
    • Bowls
    • Measuring cups & spoons

    Ingredients

    • All-purpose flour
    • Granulated sugar
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Pinch of salt
    • Buttermilk
    • Egg
    • Butter
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Cooking spray

    Instructions

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined.
    Mix the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. This creates a creamy and flavorful base for your pancakes.
    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps remaining in the batter.
    Cook the Pancakes:
    • Heat a skillet to medium-high and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Use a ¼ cup to scoop out the pancake batter onto the skillet. Wait for bubbles to form on the surface, and when the edges look golden brown, it's time to flip the pancake. Cook for a few more minutes until the other side is slightly golden brown.
    Repeat:
    • Continue this process until you've cooked all the pancakes. The result? A stack of golden, fluffy perfection!
    Serve and Enjoy:
    • Top your buttermilk pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup and fresh fruit for an extra tasty touch. The combination of sweet syrup, fluffy pancakes, and the burst of fresh fruit flavors creates a breakfast experience like no other.
