The Outer Banks Life Recipe of The Week is our take on on classic, fluffy homemade pancakes, the perfect way to celebrate National Pancake Day taking place this Tuesday, March 3.
Whether you’re easing into a slow morning or fueling up before a beach walk, there’s something timeless and comforting about warm pancakes fresh off the frying pan or griddle.
Simple ingredients, minimal prep, and a golden, buttery finish make this an easy go-to recipe you’ll want to keep on repeat.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
¼ cup melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy — that’s okay! Overmixing can make pancakes tough.
4. Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Stack high and top with butter, warm maple syrup, fresh berries, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
