Start your day with a big stack of Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes drizzled with pure maple syrup #pancakes #buttermilkpancakes #flapjacks #breakfast #brunch #holidaybrunch #bunchrecipes #bestrecipes #southernrecipes #southernfood #holidaybrunchrecipes #melissassouthernstylekitchen

There’s nothing like starting your day with a big stack of hot Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes dripping with butter and pure maple syrup. Classic buttermilk pancakes are like golden medallions encircled with those crispy edges that makes them impossible to resist. They’re admittedly indulgent yet, perfectly acceptable to be enjoyed first thing in the morning. These pancakes are slightly sweet with an airy texture due to beaten egg whites that are gently folded into the batter. A splash of pure vanilla and the flavor palate is complete.

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

My boys are huge fans of breakfast foods at any time of day. In fact, they love it when I make fruit filled pancakes, cheesy breakfast casseroles and twice baked potatoes with spinach, bacon and eggs for “brinner” on busy weekdays. Breakfast for dinner, or “brinner” is a real treat, especially when I whip-up the brunch foods we love  but have little time to make on hectic weekday mornings. Two of our favorites are my Snickerdoodle pancakes with a warm vanilla bean sauce and baked caramel apple dutch baby my take on a classic baked German pancake.

Separating the Eggs is the Secret to Fluffy Pancakes

This recipe for fluffy buttermilk pancakes is my go-to and I highly recommend going the extra step of separating the eggs and whipping the egg whites before adding them to the batter, it makes all the difference in the texture. The hint of vanilla lends such a richness to the flavor that makes me return to this recipe over and over again. Other pancake recipes you may like to try are these Sheet Pan Pancakes from Bellyfull and Banana Coconut Pecan Pancakes from Barefeet in the Kitchen.,

    These look so good! I love very think pancakes. Should I add more liquid to make these super thin, or what do you suggest?
    Thank you.

      You can thin the batter to your liking, sure. Add in small amounts until you reach your desired consistency.

    Thanks for sharing your Fluffy Buttermilk Pancake recipe…they look so yummy! I’m forever trying new pancake recipes every weekend & come Sunday I’ll be fixing these 🙂 Do you think I could use the milk + lemon juice or vinegar in place of regular buttermilk?

      Hi Elizabeth, in a pinch sure. But, it’s always best if possible to use the real thing. Preferably NOT fat free.

    Hi Melissa,
    These pancakes look sooooo delicious and fluffy that i almost got my tongue on the screen to get a taste of them! I’m from the Netherlands and we eat a totally different type of pancake. You call those crêpes. But they’re like crêpes, only much bigger. And thin of course. I like your pancakes more! They’re so yummie to put your teeth in a cloud of deliciousness, nothing can beat that! I was looking since forever for a really good American pancake recipe and here i’ve found it! This will be my go to recipe when i want to eat pancakes, for sure! So Thank you for this great recipe and till next time.
    Have a great day and keep them going….those great recipes of yours!
