Light and fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes are the best thing to happen to your breakfast table. Drizzled with an easy berry syrup and served with a pat of warm butter, these flapjacks are pancake perfection.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for cooking
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Easy Berry Syrup

  • ½ cup frozen berries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

    For the Pancakes

    1. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, preheat skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    3. When skillet is sizzling hot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil. Carefully pour or ladle about ¼ cup batter per pancake (I can fit 4 silver dollar sized pancakes in my 12” skillet at a time).
    4. When batter starts to bubble near the edges of pancake, it’s time to flip. Cook other side for about 1 minute, or until golden brown.
    5. Remove to warming plate and continue cooking remaining batter as above.
    6. Serve warm with butter and syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.

    Easy Berry Syrup

      1. Place water and berries in a small saucepan and heat, covered, until water starts to boil.
      2. Turn burner down to low, uncover and simmer until berries are soft and half of the water has cooked off, stirring occasionally.
      3. Smash berries a bit with back of a spoon to release juices. You could also puree in a blender at this point if you don’t like lumpy syrup (I never do, I don’t mind the lumps)
      4. Add syrup and stir and allow to heat through for a couple more minutes.

Notes

  • do not over mix the batter, or pancake will not turn out fluffy
  • be sure to allow batter to rest for about 10 minutes before cooking to allow leavening to do it’s work
  • topping suggestions: easy berry syrup, fresh berries, peanut butter, nutella, whipped cream, jam
