These melt-in-your-mouth buttermilk pancakes are the fluffiest ever—tested and loved by thousands! A foolproof 20-minute recipe that beats any box mix.
Stir Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 Tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt.
Stir Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 2 cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. While whisking, streamin ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted). Its okay if the butter solidifes a bit when it hits the milk.
Stir It All Together: Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until mostly combined (some lumps in the batter are okay, do not over-stir). Let pancake batter rest while you heat the pan (it's best to let it rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking).
Cook: Lightly grease a large nonstick skillet and set over medium/low heat. Spoon ½-cup portions of pancake batter into the pan, cooking until you see bubbles form on top and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown.
Serve: Keep cooked pancakes warm until serving by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel or by placing on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
