🥞 Weekend Stack Goals: Buttermilk Pancakes That Feel Like a Hug
Sometimes you just need a fluffy, golden reason to stay in your robe a little longer—and this pancake recipe delivers.
Whether you're cooking for your crew or treating yourself before a busy week, this simple stack is the perfect way to savor a slow morning.
📝 Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or your favorite substitute)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or 1 1/4 cup whole milk as a sub)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled (ghee works great too!)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
👩‍🍳 Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk (or milk), melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—a few lumps are just right.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes while your pan heats up (medium heat works best).
- Lightly grease a skillet or griddle and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fruit, or maybe a dollop of yogurt.
💡 Ruthie’s Tip: Make a double batch and freeze the extras. Reheat in the toaster for a weekday win.
