Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
Buttermilk Pancakes: A Fluffy Delight on Your Plate
Imagine waking up to a stack of golden buttermilk pancakes, each one a cloud of fluffy goodness, just waiting to be drenched in syrup. The secret to their light, tender texture lies in the buttermilk, which not only adds a delightful tang but also helps create the perfect lift.
As you take your first bite, you’re greeted with a soft, pillowy crumb that melts in your mouth, reminiscent of lazy weekend mornings. Their lightly crisped edges contrast beautifully with the airy interior, making each pancake a delightful experience for your taste buds.
These pancakes are incredibly versatile. Top them with a generous pat of butter that slowly melts and seeps into every crevice, drizzle warm maple syrup for that classic touch, or my personal favorite is topped with a blueberry topping.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add fresh berries, banana slices, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for an irresistible twist. For a little zing, a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of peanut butter can elevate your breakfast to a whole new level of indulgence.
Whether stacked high on your plate or enjoyed as a single fluffy masterpiece, buttermilk pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat. So grab that skillet, whip up a batch, and let the syrup flow—because life is too short for flat pancakes!
Blueberry topping is a delightful burst of flavor that dances on your taste buds! Imagine plump, juicy blueberries, their deep indigo hue glistening with a hint of natural sweetness. When gently cooked, the berries release their vibrant juices, creating a luscious sauce that's both tart and sweet. This topping is perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, or a warm slice of cheesecake.
It's not just a treat for your palate; the bright blue color adds a pop of fun and whimsy to your favorite desserts, making everything look as good as it tastes. Whether fresh, cooked down into a syrup, or swirled into creamy yogurt, blueberry topping is the playful companion every dessert needs to dazzle your senses!
Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (½ stick) melted and slightly cooled
- 2 ¼ cup of buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, melt half a stick of butter and let cool.
- In a large bowl, pour in the buttermilk, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar, and whisk until combined.
- In a third bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and whisk together until just combined.
- Allow the mixture to set for at least 10 minutes for the ingredients to set.
- Optional: while the mixture sets making some blueberry topping. In a small saucepan, add the frozen blueberries. In a measuring cup, add ¼ cup of water, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp sugar, and mix until combined. Pour the water mixture into a saucepan and cook on medium until the blueberry mixture thickens.
- Place a griddle pan (or pan of your choice) over medium heat. Allow the pan to warm for a couple of minutes, and place some butter on the pan.
- Scoop about ½ cup of batter into a dollop on the pan (I use about two scoops with an ice cream scoop). When the pancakes begin visibly rising and creating air bubbles, carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula. Allow the pancakes to continue cooking on the opposite side for 2-4 minutes or until slightly golden in color.
- Repeat until all mixture is gone (roughly 9 pancakes). Serve with blueberry topping or any other toppings. Enjoy!
