The original recipe is so delicious because it relies on buttermilk, a big dose of vanilla, and plenty of melted butter in the batter. If you don&rsquo;t have buttermilk, sour cream is an easy swap that many of you have used!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The melted butter in the batter helps the pancakes become slightly crispy on the edges, while the high amount of baking powder creates tall, fluffy insides. Soft, tender muffin-like pancakes with delicate lace crispy edges is the definition of pancake heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, even though this is a &lsquo;small batch&rsquo; and &lsquo;cooking for two&rsquo; website, I have to share my large batch pancakes with you today. There are times when you need more than 4 pancakes, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-pancake\">What is a pancake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A pancake is a round, thin, and soft cake made of a tangy batter that cooks quickly on a skillet or griddle. It&rsquo;s typically served with more butter and maple syrup, though we like to serve it with whipped cream and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13.jpg\" alt=\"Plate of round pancakes with fresh cherries and butter on top.\" class=\"wp-image-48828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-13-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-homemade-pancake-recipe-ingredients\">Homemade Pancake Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. Two cups of regular all-purpose flour that has been fluffed, scooped and leveled off with a knife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Powder<\/strong>. While 4 teaspoons sounds like a lot of baking powder, it is definitely the right amount! Since baking powder is &lsquo;double-acting,&rsquo; it reacts first with the acidic buttermilk and then again with the heat of the pan. This is the secret to fluffy, soft and tender pancakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>. A small amount of sugar will help the pancakes brown in the skillet while cooking. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buttermilk<\/strong>. We need 2 cups of low-fat well-shaken buttermilk from the store. If you don&rsquo;t have buttermilk, use the same amount of sour cream. If you only have milk, use 2 cups with 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or white vinegar mixed in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>. Two large eggs, beaten before adding to the bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. We need 4 tablespoons (or 1\/4 cup) of melted butter for the batter, and then extra butter for cooking them in the skillet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract<\/strong>. One teaspoon of real pure vanilla extract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For serving<\/strong>: additional pats of butter and maple syrup, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-pancakes-from-scratch\">How to make Pancakes from Scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4.jpg\" alt=\"Brown bowl with flour, baking powder and sugar on grey counter.\" class=\"wp-image-48829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5.jpg\" alt=\"Glass measuring cup with butter and buttermilk.\" class=\"wp-image-48830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pancake-Recipe-5-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>1.

However, you can rely on visual clues. Once you ladle the batter into the pan, allow it to cook, without disturbing, until small bubbles start appearing on the upper surface. The bubbles will appear all around the edges, and then you will flip to cook the second side. Let the second side cook for a few minutes, and then use a spatula to pick it up and peek underneath. The pancakes are done with both sides of golden brown; please see the photos in the recipe for further guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-store-homemade-pancakes\">How to store Homemade Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leftover pancakes are super easy to store for another breakfast. You can stack leftovers in an airtight container, and place them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Otherwise, you can freeze leftover pancakes flat and then stack them in an airtight bag for long-term storage. To defrost, either place in fridge overnight and heat in the microwave until hot, or pop in the toaster to warm all the way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-homemade-pancakes-faqs\">Homemade Pancakes FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692036720436\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes pancakes fluffy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The double-action of baking powder makes pancakes so fluffy. Baking powder reacts both chemically and physically. First, the baking powder reacts with the acidity in the buttermilk or sour cream. This creates bubbles of air in the batter, which lead to fluffy pancakes. Then, the heat of the pan makes the baking powder react again and help the pancake puff up in the skillet. If you do not have baking powder, you cannot make this recipe successfully.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692036739088\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long do you wait to flip a pancake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Cook pancakes on the first side until small bubbles begin to form around the edges on the upper side. Then, flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, too. Total, it will be about 3-5 minutes per side.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692036749982\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you save pancake batter?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, if you have enough pancakes, store the remaining batter in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep it covered with plastic wrap or an airtight squeeze bottle for easier use later. You can also check out my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/small-batch-pancakes-for-two\/\">small batch pancakes recipe<\/a><\/span> so this doesn&rsquo;t happen again.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692036768361\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you make pancake batter the night before?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can technically made pancake batter the night before you wish to make pancakes. However, my pancakes recipe from scratch is so simple that it really doesn&rsquo;t take much time. Pancake batter can thicken in the fridge overnight, so if you do this, you can splash in extra buttermilk in order to thin it back out before cooking.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other Pancake Recipes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/lemon-cream-pancakes\/\">Lemon Pancakes<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/eggless-pancakes\/\">Eggless Pancakes<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/espresso-chip-pancakes\/\">Coffee Pancakes<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/banana-oat-pancakes\/\">Banana Oat Pancakes<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Pancake Recipe from Scratch\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"www.DessertForTwo.com\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-14\",\"recipeYield\":12,\"description\":\"Homemade buttermilk pancakes recipe from scratch.\",\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/Pancake-Recipe-14-720x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/Pancake-Recipe-14-720x540.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/Pancake-Recipe-14-540x720.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/Pancake-Recipe-14-720x405.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/Pancake-Recipe-14-735x1103.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Breakfast\",\"recipeCuisine\":\"American\",\"prepTime\":\"PT10M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT20M\",\"performTime\":\"PT20M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT30M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"2 cup all-purpose flour\",\"4 teaspoons baking powder\",\"1\\\/4 cup granulated sugar\",\"2 cups buttermilk\",\"2 large eggs, beaten\",\"1\\\/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for the skillet\",\"1 teaspoon vanilla extract\",\"maple syrup, for serving\",\"salted butter, for serving\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar.\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking...\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.dessertfortwo.com\\\/pancake-recipe\\\/#mv_create_894_1\"},{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, the melted butter, and thevanilla.

Baking powder reacts both chemically and physically. First, the baking powder reacts with the acidity in the buttermilk or sour cream. This creates bubbles of air in the batter, which lead to fluffy pancakes. Then, the heat of the pan makes the baking powder react again and help the pancake puff up in the skillet. If you do not have baking powder, you cannot make this recipe successfully.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/pancake-recipe\/#faq-question-1692036739088","position":2,"url":"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/pancake-recipe\/#faq-question-1692036739088","name":"How long do you wait to flip a pancake?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Cook pancakes on the first side until small bubbles begin to form around the edges on the upper side.
