Trying to come up with what we will have for breakfast seven days a week can be difficult. I try to make sure that we eat hot meals as many days I can and I try to keep them simple. I have found the less complicated breakfast is the better for all of us. Something complicated (although I do have a big breakfast post coming) just makes the day somehow start off wrong. We want to feel full but not miserable! So I love making Buttermilk Pancakes and one of the great things about pancakes is that you can change them up anyway you want just by adding some fruit or chocolate.
Mixing pancakes is a breeze and it can of course all be done in one bowl. Can you say thank yo? We don’t have an automatic dishwasher so I have to do the dishes by hand and anytime I can get away with fewer I am happy. One you get all of your ingredients mixed you can add in chocolate chips or berries, just about anything you want. Remember you want to fold anything else in and not mix it.
Most of the time I just you a hot skillet and butter to cook these. Now if I am doing a lot I will pull out my electric griddle because I can do about eight at a time. You can do as many as you like in your pan depending on the size you want. I do them one at a time but that is just me. Yes that is the butter that you see under the pancake. I use a small amount, place it in the middle of the pan and then I just pour my batter in. I use a 1/4 measuring cup to do mine.
As you can see they are not too fluffy but not too thin. If you want fluffier then add more mix, thinner add less and spread it a little more in the pan. Hope you enjoy!
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 1/8 cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Preheat and lightly grease a large skillet or electric griddle.
- Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add the egg, buttermilk, and butter; stir together lightly, but keep it lumpy. The batter should look thick, spongy, and puffy.
- Drop 1/3 cup of the batter onto the cooking surface, spreading lightly with the bottom of the cup. Cook until lightly-browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Yum! I also like to send the kids off with a warm breakfast everyday. It is a pain coming up with something different everyday! Your pancakes look great!
Thanks! They really are very good and I enjoy them so much
Buttermilk pancakes are the best! I love making mine crispy around the edges. They are just too good to pass up. Yours looks so delish!
