PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes image

Pancakes are the hero of the breakfast table, and their very taste can even be described as "deeply breakfasty": eggy, salty, just this side of sweet. A little indulgent and yet still somehow appropriate first thing in the morning, those fluffy stacks with crisped edges, dripping with maple syrup, are everything you want, exactly when you want them. Here is how to get to them right every time, whether it's a lazy Sunday morning or a hurried weekday.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable, canola or coconut oil for the pan

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
  • Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

The key to light and fluffy buttermilk pancakes from scratch? Don't overmix the batter-it should have small to medium lumps.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes

Yield Makes nine 6-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle
1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
  • Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
  • Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. Scatter with berries, if using. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
  • Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve with Cranberry Syrup.

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes image

These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are a one-bowl recipe, made from scratch, with pantry staple ingredients and ready in about 30 mintues. Perfect for weekend breakfasts!

Provided by Michelle

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2¼ cups buttermilk
2 eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well, then add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Beginning in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix - lumps are okay! (At this point, the batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 hour.) Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while you preheat your pan or griddle.
  • Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet (cast iron is best!) over low heat for 5 minutes. (If you are using an electric griddle, preheat it to 350 degrees F.) Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then increase the heat to medium-low. Using 1/3 cup measure, ladle the batter onto the pan or griddle. Do not crowd the surface, even if this means only being able to cook a couple at a time.
  • Cook until edges are set, first side is golden brown, and there are bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Using a thin, wide spatula, flip pancakes and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove the pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in the preheated oven until ready to serve. Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

THE BEST BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



The Best Buttermilk Pancakes image

We're transporting you to the old-fashioned diner for a plate of fluffy buttermilk pancakes. Our recipe has both baking powder for an airy and light interior and baking soda for that even golden-brown exterior. We love the tang of buttermilk and the richness of butter for an even cakier stack. This recipe is easy enough for a fast breakfast with the kids or doubled for a weekend brunch with friends.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield about 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for brushing
Butter and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and melted butter in a medium bowl until incorporated. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
  • Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

THE BEST (NO KIDDING) BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



The Best (No Kidding) Buttermilk Pancakes image

I know there are a zillion pancake recipes already but I went thru and this one IS different and SO good. I think that mixing well, sifting the dry ingredients, and carefully folding in the egg whites makes these so very fluffy. And, wonder of wonders, you can freeze the batter, defrost in the fridge, and the pancakes are perfect. One more thing--you must use real maple syrup and you must warm it before serving it with the pancakes.

3 eggs, separated
1 2/3 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Beat the yolks until pale and smooth.
  • Beat in the buttermilk and then the baking soda and mix well.
  • Sift in the dry ingredients mixing as you add; make sure the batter is smooth.
  • Add in the melted butter and mix well.
  • Beat the egg whites in another bowl until stiff.

  • Let batter stand about 20 minutes before making pancakes.
