Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe

If you’ve got an early morning sweet tooth, then this delicious light and fluffy Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe is just what you need.

Man do I love buttermilk pancakes…  I’ve got great memories of my dad making them every Saturday, or at least I begged him too.  As a kid is there a better breakfast out there then homemade buttermilk pancakes?  I don’t think so!

How to Make Them

To make them you essentially mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, mix the wet ingredients in another and then simply combine them and mix until the batter is just combined.  It is pretty much the exact same process in making Hoe Cakes.

How to Make Them Fluffy

So, let’s talk about the key to making fluffy buttermilk pancakes. While the ingredients are very important, a lot of making a fluffy buttermilk pancake recipe has to do with the procedures.  Since pancakes are supposed to be light and fluffy, you need to act that way when mixing the batter.

The key to fluffy buttermilk pancakes is not sifting nor overmixing.  The batter should be chunky but a bit runny.  Those little flour chunks in the homemade buttermilk pancake batter are what is going to help them fluff up.  So yes, chunks are good!

The Best Buttermilk Pancakes

Making the best buttermilk pancakes is sort of subjective and in the eyes of the beholder.  You may like really thin pancakes, almost like a crepe or German pancake.  You may like super thick big fat pancakes that are like a legit cake.  For me I like light, I like fluffy, and of course I like flavorful.  The amount of sugar I put into this recipe just gives it that extra love!

To further enhance the flavor of this you could add in vanilla, blueberries, oats, I mean seriously get creative and have fun, but the base of this recipe is absolutely delicious and can stand alone by itself.  I’m just always trying to give you all a few more options!

Now go get your breakfast on!
