Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (480 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Toppings:

  • strawberries
  • bananas
  • raspberries
  • blueberries
  • whipped cream
  • maple syrup
  • buttermilk syrup
  • Nutella
  • peanut butter
  • chocolate chips
  • butter
  • peaches
  • berry syrup
  • lemon curd
  • Biscoff
  • walnuts
  • pecans

Instructions

  1. Gather all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, sifting together flour, granulated sweetener, leavening agents, and seasoning for even distribution.
  2. Create a separate mixing bowl for liquid components, thoroughly blending cultured milk, whisked eggs, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla until smoothly integrated.
  3. Gently fold liquid mixture into dry ingredients, using minimal stirring to maintain a slightly lumpy texture that ensures tender, light pancakes.
  4. Heat a well-seasoned cooking surface to medium temperature, lightly coating with butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  5. Carefully ladle batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately 1/4 cup per pancake to create uniform circles.
  6. Monitor cooking progress by observing bubble formation across the pancake’s surface, which signals the ideal moment to execute a precise flip.
  7. Continue cooking until both sides achieve a golden-bronze coloration, indicating perfect caramelization and thoroughly cooked interior.
  8. Transfer finished pancakes to a warming platter, arranging an elaborate spread of complementary accompaniments like fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, chocolate chips, and nuts.
  9. Invite guests to personalize their culinary experience by selecting and combining their preferred toppings directly at the pancake board.

Notes

  • Prevent overmixing by gently folding wet and dry ingredients, which keeps pancakes light and fluffy with tender texture.
  • Ensure buttermilk is at room temperature for smoother batter integration and consistent pancake consistency.
  • Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour, maintaining similar texture and taste.
  • Allow pancake batter to rest 5-10 minutes before cooking, enabling flour proteins to relax and producing more delicate pancakes.
