Description:

I stumbled upon this treasure of a recipe years ago in “The Pleasures of Your Processor” by Norene Gilletz, and let me tell you, it has become a staple in my kitchen. These pancakes are the epitome of fluffy, golden perfection—guaranteed to win over both kids and adults alike with their delightful taste and texture.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a food processor, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • Pulse the mixture 4-5 times until well blended.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:

    • To the dry mixture, pour in the buttermilk, cracked egg, and melted butter.
    • Process everything until you achieve a smooth batter, which should take about 10 seconds. Be careful not to overprocess; a few pulses should do the trick.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Heat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles on the surface.
    • Lightly grease the griddle with butter or oil.
    • Pour the batter onto the hot griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. You can adjust the size based on your preference, aiming for those perfect 4-inch pancakes.
    • Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip and Brown:

    • Once you see those bubbles, it’s time to flip! Use a spatula to gently turn the pancakes over.
    • Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the underside is beautifully golden brown.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate, stacking them up as you go.
    • Serve hot with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream—let your imagination run wild!

Recipe Notes:

  • Buttermilk Substitute: No buttermilk on hand? No problem! You can easily make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it curdles slightly, then use it as you would buttermilk.

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the pancake batter ahead of time! Store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a quick stir before cooking.

  • Freezing Pancakes: These pancakes freeze beautifully! Once cooled, stack them with a small square of parchment paper between each one. Place in a freezer bag and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or microwave until warmed through.

  • Flavor Variations: Get creative with your pancakes! Add in a handful of blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.

  • Serve with Love: Pancakes are always better when shared with loved ones. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday brunch or a quick weekday breakfast, these Best Ever Buttermilk Pancakes are sure to brighten any morning! 🥞💛
