About This Recipe
A cherished family recipe, featuring a homemade pancake mix enriched with tangy buttermilk. Perfect with berry syrup or fresh fruit for a special breakfast treat.
Why You’ll Love These Fluffy Pancakes
- Quick & Easy: Ready in just of prep.
- Light & Airy: Buttermilk and baking soda react to create ultra-fluffy batter.
- Scandinavian Twist: A hint of vanilla and sugar for a subtly sweet flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Tip: A few lumps are okay—overmixing leads to dense pancakes.
- Preheat and lightly grease a large skillet or electric griddle over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden brown and fluffy.
- Serve warm with berry syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
