Sunday mornings are the one day I cook for breakfast. Weekdays are obviously too busy for cooking and on Saturdays we like to go out and explore the town and new restaurants as a family. Sundays run at a bit slower pace (though still busy with church). We use this slower pace to spend as much family time as possible before getting back to the grind on Monday. I could make scrambled eggs every Sunday and my kids would be perfectly happy. They love scrambled eggs. But where's the fun in that? Sundays are the one morning we all sit down to eat at the same time and I just adore having a cozy, comfort food like our Fluffy Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes to go with it.

🥞 Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Are So Much Better
Traditional pancake are fine and I do those when I'm out of buttermilk. But fully buttermilk pancakes are so much better. The tang of the buttermilk and the fluffy rise in unbeatable. These days I keep a quart of buttermilk on hand just for pancakes (it comes in handy for cake baking too). You can use the DIY method of making buttermilk from whole milk and lemon juice or vinegar. It will get a similar result but I really find it worth keeping the real stuff (from a local dairy farm) on hand.
🥞 The Secret to Fluffy Pancakes
The secret to fluffy buttermilk pancakes lies in creating just the right texture and using a few key techniques. When you mix wet and dry ingredients, you’ll want to stir until they’re just combined—leaving a few lumps helps keep the batter light and airy. Overmixing develops gluten, which makes pancakes tougher and less fluffy.
Then there’s the heat: a preheated, medium-hot griddle ensures that as the batter hits the surface, air bubbles start expanding right away, lifting each pancake to fluffy perfection. It’s all about getting those bubbles to do the heavy lifting, resulting in thick, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes every time!
