These fluffy pancakes are a viral Tiktok favorite and deliver breakfast comfort with every bite. Perfectly golden and tender, this easy recipe combines basic ingredients to create irresistible pancakes that are sure to go viral on your plate.
Equipment
- Medium and small mixing bowls
- Whisk or wooden spoon
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Griddle or non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until fully blended.
- Incorporate the Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed—don’t worry if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Let the Batter Sit: Set the batter aside for at least 5 minutes (or up to 30) so it can thicken and improve in texture.
- Preheat the Griddle: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with solid shortening, then wipe off excess.
- Cook the Pancakes: Drop dollops of batter onto the hot surface. When bubbles form and begin to pop, flip and cook until the underside is golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot off the griddle onto a bowl with toppings like maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
- For longer storage, freeze them flat and transfer to bags—reheat in the toaster or oven at 350°F for best results.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute buttermilk with any plant milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Use plant-based butter or oil.
- Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the pancakes light.
- Letting the batter rest improves fluffiness.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and easy flipping.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prep the batter the night before and store it sealed in the fridge. Or, cook and freeze the pancakes ahead of time for quick breakfasts.
