This easy and forgiving recipe delivers light, fluffy buttermilk pancakes paired with a rich maple butter syrup, perfect for cozy mornings or late-night cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, softened (for syrup)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients (5 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients (3 minutes): In a separate bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy. Add buttermilk and melted butter. Stir gently to mix. Add vanilla extract if using.
  3. Make the Batter (2 minutes): Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; batter should be lumpy.
  4. Preheat Pan (5 minutes): Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by flicking water drops; they should dance and evaporate quickly. Lightly grease the pan.
  5. Cook Pancakes (15-20 minutes): Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes). Flip and cook other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes). Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate in a warm oven (200°F/95°C) while finishing the batch.
  7. Make Maple Butter Syrup (5 minutes): In a small saucepan over low heat, combine maple syrup and softened butter. Stir gently until butter melts and blends with syrup. Do not boil.
  8. Serve: Stack pancakes, drizzle generously with maple butter syrup, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are good for fluffiness. Preheat the pan fully before cooking. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven to avoid sogginess. Use a thin spatula for easy flipping. For non-stick, add a little butter or spray to the pan. Variations include gluten-free flour, vegan substitutions, and adding berries.
