Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
- Cook on a hot griddle or in an electric skillet until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, gently mix the wet and dry ingredients without overmixing. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can also swap the melted butter for a vegetable oil or a dairy-free alternative to cater to dietary preferences.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter on top. Fresh fruits like blueberries or strawberries make a great topping, and they pair beautifully with a side of Heart Smart Roasted Potatoes for a satisfying breakfast. For a sweet twist, try adding Deb'S Peanut Butter Frosting on top for an indulgent treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a toaster or on a skillet over low heat until heated through. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just remember to give it a gentle stir before cooking. Alternatively, you can make the pancakes in advance and freeze them, reheating as needed for a quick breakfast option.
What can I add to the batter for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor of your pancakes by adding ingredients such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit like bananas or blueberries right into the batter. For a unique twist, consider mixing in a teaspoon of almond extract or vanilla for a richer taste.
How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?
Pancakes are typically done when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them when the bottom is golden brown, and cook on the other side until it matches. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes with a spatula, as this can result in dense pancakes.
