Tender, cloud-like buttermilk pancakes paired with a luscious homemade maple butter, perfect for a cozy and comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) buttermilk, preferably full-fat
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the maple butter:
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy. Stir in 2 cups buttermilk, 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (cooled), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined; the batter should be lumpy, not smooth.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. The skillet is ready when drops of water sizzle and dance on the surface.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. While pancakes cook, beat ½ cup softened unsalted butter with 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt until creamy and fluffy.
  7. Stack pancakes, dollop generously with maple butter, and drizzle with extra syrup if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Make maple butter while pancakes cook to save time. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if serving a crowd. For vegan or gluten-free options, see substitutions in the recipe notes.
