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.

THE PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



The Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes image

This is a staple in my house on the weekends. Its a hit with my kids and guests that come over. It can easily be double or tripled. They freeze very well so no batter goes to waste. Warm in microwave and they taste like they were just made. You can even dress it with whipped cream and/or fruit of your choice.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
1.25 teaspoons kosher salt
2.5 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vegetable, canola or coconut oil

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees
  • 2. 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 the 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 refigerated for up to one hour.
  • 3. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferable cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of 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.
  • 4. 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 heat oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make your pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If you cook them over too high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Pancakes are best when they are served hot off the griddle.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. They can also be used to make breakfast sandwiches or wraps. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect buttermilk pancakes every time.
