A tender, airy, and sweet pancake recipe perfect for a cozy Valentine’s breakfast in bed. Quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients, delivering fluffy, golden pancakes every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 ¼ cups milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar as substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking gently until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain; the batter should be lumpy but well incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the leavening agents and hydrate the flour.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should dance and evaporate quickly.
  6. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set at 200°F (90°C) to keep warm while cooking remaining batter.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; it should be lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best fluffiness. Keep skillet temperature moderate to avoid burning. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven.
