Description

Just like grandma used to make, this recipe for old-fashioned buttermilk pancakes is perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast. Serve with butter and syrup.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Preheat a griddle to medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
2 Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter; stir until well blended but some small lumps remain. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough and rubbery.
3 Pour oil on a paper towel; spread over griddle to lightly grease. Splash griddle with a few drops of water to test it; water should dance across the surface and not instantly steam and evaporate.
4 Drop batter by ¼ to ⅓ cupfuls onto the griddle; cook until the sides start to shine and look stiff, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
