Description
Classic, light, and fluffy buttermilk pancakes served with a rich homemade white syrup. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 1/3 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp butter (melted)
1/2 cup milk (use to thin the batter if too thick)
For homemade white syrup:
1 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add milk a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- For the homemade white syrup, combine the butter, heavy cream, and sugar in a pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil and let it boil for one minute.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the homemade white syrup.
Notes
- You can substitute regular milk for buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 1/3 cups of milk and letting it sit for a few minutes.
- Add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas can be added to the batter for extra flavor.
- Make the homemade white syrup in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat it gently on the stove before serving.
- For a healthier version, substitute whole wheat flour, use less sugar, or omit the syrup.
