Buttermilk Pancakes
Hi Everyone, I am sharing our family's FAVORITE pancake recipe.
I make this nearly every week or weekend for my family. This is one recipe that every member of my family LOVES.
I usually share about it on my Instagram Stories, I photographed this recipe way back on 10/14/2020, and now finally, I am sharing how I make it with all of you.
I find that I am making them a lot more amid the pandemic that we are now in as I write this post.

What if I don't have buttermilk on hand?
How to Make a Buttermilk Substitute with Milk and Lemon Juice or Vinegar: You can make it using regular milk and add 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or white vinegar per 1 cup of milk and let stand for 5 minutes.
How to Make a Buttermilk Substitute with Water and Lemon Juice or Vinegar: For this recipe, it will still work, if you use the same amount of water and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white or apple cider vinegar and mix together. This option is also great if you want to eliminate dairy from this recipe.

Ingredients
- 1-¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1-½ cups buttermilk *see notes
- 3 tablespoons Canola cooking oil
optional toppings
- confectioner's sugar, for sprinkling, amount to taste
- honey, amount to taste
- maple syrup, amount to taste
- cut fruit, amount to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, stir together egg, buttermilk, and oil. Add egg mixture to dry mixed ingredients. Stir until just combined. It's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Add desired fruit in the batter or on top later.
- Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the batter onto a heated, lightly greased, non-stick, large skillet, cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, on each side or until desired browning is achieved. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and desired syrup. Optionally, sprinkle with some powdered/confectioner's sugar.
