How to make perfect buttermilk pancakes from scratch! Light, fluffy and delicious pancakes that are just as good if not better than you would get at the local diner or pancake house!
What you’ll need:
1-1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk**
1 egg
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, water and oil. Mix well and add to dry ingredients. Stir just until wet and dry ingredients are incorporated. Some lumps should remain. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before using.
On a griddle preheated over medium heat (or electric griddle set to 350*), lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup of batter in center and let cook until bubbles form on the top and pop and the edges turn dull. Flip and cook for another 1.5-2 minutes. Continue with remaining batter. Makes 6 (6″) pancakes. Enjoy!
**for this recipe, I prefer to make my own buttermilk. To 1 cup regular 2% milk, add 1 Tbsp white vinegar and stir to mix. The vinegar does not curdle the milk or make cheese so it’s fine.

Thanks a lot they're great
Thank you
Tried this recipe !! Awesome I opted not to add water but did add a splash more buttermilk!! Light fluffy delicious 🤤
I made these this morning! But left out the sugar. Best pancakes. . .E v e rrrrrrrrr!
Since I discovered buttermilk was available through Amazon Fresh (and not at my local) I have been looking for and trying every recipe there is for buttermilk pancakes, continuously disappointed in my attempts to make the perfect pancakes. …until today!
These are delicious, moist, light, buttery (cause I added two tablespoons of melted butter to the liquids before mixing with dry) and this recipe is the one that goes in my keep file!
Thank you buddy for posting and for letting me hear that I'm not the only one who drops into cute "dog voice" when I speak to mine. 😆😝 "Yes he is…" Classic.
That pancake batter looked a little too smooth. Never overmix pancake batter otherwise pancakes will come out dense, chewy and tough. The pancake batter should be thick and airy. Also butter gives more flavour than oil though if your out of unsalted butter then sure go ahead with oil. Melted shortening like Crisco or Lard would also work well.
I was going to make these but remembered I don't have maple syrup 😭
I tried this today and it was a success! My family loved the pancakes so from now on, this is the recipe I’ll be using. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Best pancakes ever! My family loved this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
This Recipe Used In The Video Closely Resembles My Mother's Recipe, Due To The Fact, Just About Everything She Made Was From Scratch. You Name It She Cooked It.
This is my go to pancakes for a good happy 8 years now, i just fluff my egg whites and add it last, i see that works for me for fluffier pancakes
I had accidently put a cup of heavy cream instead of buttermilk and because it was thick i put in some regular milk. It was so delicious 😄😋
@CroutonCrackerJacks got it right!, All food must go to the Lab 🐶 for testing! 🙂😀☺️ I love this, thank you for sharing
So what is the purpose of putting vegetable oil? When I use it, I can taste it. Is there a substitute?
this was the best pancake i ever made in my damn life
Please come back!!
I worked at Denny's for 4 years as a line cook and your recipe is very close to what they use. Yours is also the 1st recipe that uses water which is what they use . I will give your viewers a secret prep method.
You have to get iCE COLD WATER AND BUTTERMILK in that batter to get it to rise and spread. Also, you flipped your cakes way too soon….that batter won't brown as fast as most other recipes so don't be afraid to let it sit there. 350 degrees on the pan. No oil in the batter…use melted butter or margerine
Beautiful 🥰
