Ingredients

Steps

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

  2. Beat the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter together and fold into the dry mix until just combined — lumps are fine.

  3. Rest the batter 5 minutes while a buttered skillet heats over medium.

  4. Cook 1/4-cup portions 2–3 minutes until bubbles set at the edges, flip, and cook 1–2 minutes more.

Overmixing is what makes pancakes rubbery.

Swaps

  • Milk soured with 1 tbsp lemon juice replaces buttermilk.
