If you asked my family what my “specialty” was in the kitchen, it would be breakfast, for sure. I love it all: waffles, french toast, casseroles, sausage gravy, biscuits, eggs anyway I can get ’em, muffins, and pancakes, glorious pancakes. Man do I love pancakes. My Nana used to make the most amazing pancakes and then she’d make her own maple syrup and it was poured, piping hot, on top of a hunk of butter and the pancakes and my life was complete. Pure bliss I tell you. The secret ingredient to pancakes is buttermilk.

I’ve had millions of pancakes in my time and the very best of those were made with buttermilk. There is the trick of adding vinegar to milk to make your own buttermilk and while this is an adequate substitute, I think the real thing is better for sure. With Mother’s Day on the horizon, I wanted to make sure were equipped with the BEST fluffy buttermilk pancakes recipe out there…this one.

I mean, just look at them! I like to use a griddle when making pancakes. It’s much more efficient and an easier way to feed the masses, i.e, my growing boys. Serve your syrup warm, if not hot. It helps the butter melt and spreads all that awesomeness all over the place. I don’t know about you, but I think breakfast for dinner should be a weekly occurrence with these pancakes as the star of the show.

1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl or, as I frequently do, a large glass measuring cup. 2. Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract just until combined. Some small lumps are okay. 3. Let pancake batter rest for 10 minutes. 4. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

5. Spray with non-stick cooking spray OR brush with butter or oil. 6. Ladle 1/3 - 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. 7. Flip the pancakes over when small bubbles appear on the surface and continue cooking on the opposite side until golden brown. 8. Serve with butter and syrup.

… don’t be like me and pour until your table, linens, and everything else is covered in syrup. In my defense, pouring syrup strategically over pancakes while holding and shooting a camera isn’t the easiest thing in the world. I still have sticky syrup to clean off my camera.

2. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and buttermilk together with a whisk. Very slowly pour in the melted butter, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently with a spoon until just moistened. Do not over mix! The batter should still have lumps.

4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat and add ⅓ cup batter. Cook pancake 2-3 minutes on first side, until edges look slightly dry and bubbles begin to form on top. Flip the pancake and cook another 1-2 minutes. Serve with butter and syrup. LET’S KEEP IN TOUCH!
