The Best Pancakes I’ve Ever Made

EUREKA! Guys, I’m not even kidding when I say I’ve been looking for this buttermilk pancake recipe for my entire life. They are fluffy, crispy on the edges, tender in the middle, and completely stackable. The search is over!!

Other people have late-night pizza cravings; I have late night pancake cravings. Seriously, I am the one going to IHOP at 10pm because I need to get myself a stack. I love pancakes like a fat kid loves cake. You want to know the sad part?

I’m TERRIBLE at making pancakes. Seriously, I have tried a dozen recipes probably. No matter what I do they always turn out rubbery or flat or gummy (ugh. that’s the worst) or just plain flavorless. I am a chronic over-beater, it’s an addiction. I have some great specialty pancake recipes (Like these Gingerbread Pancakes with Lemon Syrup or these Banana Macadamia Pancakes with Coconut Syrup), but I had yet to find a good everyday recipe for when I want straight up, no fuss, buttermilk heaven.

Ingredients

•  1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
•  2 and 1/2 cups flour, spooned and leveled
•  1/4 cup white sugar
•  1 teaspoon salt
•  2 teaspoons baking soda
•  2 teaspoons baking powder
•  2 cups buttermilk
•  1/2 cup milk (I used whole milk)
•  2 eggs, separated
•  bacon grease, for frying (butter works too)

Instructions

1. Heat your oven to 170 degrees F, sometimes called the "keep warm" setting.
2. Get out 3 bowls: large, medium, and small.
3. Add the butter to the large bowl and microwave until it is melted. Set aside to cool a little bit.
4. In the medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
5. Add the buttermilk and milk to the melted butter.
6. Separate the eggs: add the whites to the small bowl and the yolks to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Whisk in the yolks.
7. Use a small whisk of fork to beat the egg whites a little bit, just 20 seconds or so until they start getting a little bubbly. It will help them fold in evenly.
8. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir roughly with a wooden spoon. Don't overdo it! Just barely combine it. There should still be streaks for flour. See photos.
9. Beat the egg whites a little then add them to the batter. Fold in gently. It's okay if there are still streaks of egg white.
10. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
11. When it is hot, smear a little bacon grease over the griddle.
12. Scoop the batter using a half cup measurement.
13. When bubbles on top start to pop, flip the pancakes. They should be a nice golden brown.
14. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden on both sides.
15. Remove the pancakes to a cooking rack and keep warm in the oven that you turned on.
