My family loves homemade pancakes made from scratch. This buttermilk pancakes recipe is easy-to-make! They’re light and fluffy. I like to make a big batch of them during the weekend and freeze a few for later use. My kids will reheat the pancakes in the toaster oven before heading to school. If you’re going to freeze a few…make them on the smaller size. I’ll include freezing instructions below.

Freezing: Make smaller sized pancakes. Let them cool to room temperature. Place on a flat baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Place them in a freezer storage bag laying them flat…one on top of the other. By flash freezing them on the baking sheet you’ll prevent sticking. If you want to skip that part…you can lay a sheet of parchmaent paper between each pancake. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Topping Ideas: melted butter, maple syrup, pancake syrup, fruit spread, sliced fruits, chocolate sauce, butterscotch sauce, white chocolate flavored sauce, caramel sauce, frozen whipped topping, etc.
Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
3 medium eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted
Non-Stick Baking Spray or Additional Butter
In a mixing bowl combine together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and the salt. In another mixing bowl beat together the buttermilk, milk, medium eggs and the melted butter.
Spray a skillet or griddle with non-stick baking spray or add a tablespoon of butter, let it melt over medium-high heat. You don’t want to scorch it…just make it very hot.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Use a fork to combine everything together.
Spoon the batter into the preheated skillet or griddle. I like to use a ladel to pour it into the pan. I don’t make HUGE pancakes which are hard to flip…plus I like to freeze a few for later. Simmer for approximately 2 minutes or until you see bubbles appearing around the edges. Flip the pancake over. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Once the pancake is done…remove it from the skillet. Repeat this process with the remaining batter. Serve immediately.
