Buttermilk Pancakes
Soft, fluffy buttermilk pancakes with warm maple syrup are a great way to start the morning.
This buttermilk pancake recipe makes delicious, light golden-brown pancakes with a hint of cinnamon.
How to Make the Fluffiest Buttermilk Pancakes
The great thing about using buttermilk for pancakes is that it provides a lot more flavor than regular milk.
The buttermilk also works in tandem with the baking soda to help create light, airy pancakes.
What makes these pancakes so light and fluffy is using both baking powder and baking soda. It also helps if you give them a whisk, right before pouring the batter onto the griddle.
What makes this pancake recipe so tasty is adding cinnamon and a touch of salt to the batter – making the pancakes amazingly flavorful.
A tip to help tell when the pancakes should be flipped is to watch for bubbles to start forming in the batter.
A few things we like to serve with these are pitchers of tangy Bloody Marys, the sweet, smoky flavor of a Maple Bourbon Glazed Ham, or the rich meaty flavor from Homemade Bacon.
