Best Buttermilk Pancakes

Step 1

Briefly mix or whisk dry ingredients together: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

Add the wet ingredients: eggs, melted butter that’s been cooled down a bit so it’s not hot to the touch, vanilla, lemon juice, milk and buttermilk. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Don’t overmix! The pancake batter will still have some lumps – but that’s okay.

Step 3

Heat a pancake griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the griddle with butter.

Step 4

Using a 1/4 measuring cup, ladle the pancake batter onto the grill. Allow pancakes to cook about 1-2 minutes. You’ll see small bubbles starting to form. Flip the pancakes over and continue to cook them for another 1-2 minutes until done.

Step 5

Briefly remove your griddle from the heat while you transfer the cooked buttermilk pancakes to a platter. Grease the griddle again and put it back over the heated burners. Repeat the process until all the buttermilk pancakes have been made.

Step 6

Garnish as desired. Serve hot.
