Old Fashioned Pancakes




🥞 OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES RECIPE

These pancakes are slightly thicker, richer, and more flavorful than basic pancakes because they use buttermilk, melted butter, and a classic ratio of dry-to-wet ingredients that creates a nostalgic, diner-style texture.


🧈 INGREDIENTS (Makes 8–10 pancakes)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar; rest 5 minutes)

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for the pan)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds warmth)


🔪 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour

  • Sugar

  • Baking powder

  • Baking soda

  • Salt

This ensures even rising and fluffy pancakes.


2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk:

  • Buttermilk

  • Egg

  • Melted butter

  • Vanilla (if using)

Make sure the melted butter is slightly cooled so it doesn’t cook the egg.


3. Combine Wet + Dry

Pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl.

Gently stir using a spatula.
Stop mixing when the batter is just combined.
It should be slightly lumpy—this makes pancakes light and tender.

Let the batter rest 5 minutes (optional but recommended).


4. Heat the Pan

Warm a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Brush lightly with butter for that old-fashioned flavor.


5. Cook the Pancakes

  1. Scoop ¼ cup batter onto the hot surface.

  3. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.

Repeat, buttering the pan lightly between batches.


🍽️ SERVE

Serve warm with:

  • Soft butter

  • Maple syrup

  • Honey

  • Powdered sugar

  • Fresh berries

Old-fashioned pancakes pair beautifully with crispy bacon or sausage.


⭐ TIPS FOR PERFECT OLD-FASHIONED PANCAKES

  • Don’t overmix the batter—this is the #1 cause of flat pancakes.

  • Buttermilk creates the classic old-style tang and tenderness.

  • Cook on medium, not high; they brown too fast otherwise.

  • Let the batter rest briefly for extra fluffiness.

Potato Pancakes Recipe



Potato Pancakes Recipe 

So straightforward, yet incredibly delicious, these Classic Potato Pancakes are a must-try! Adhere to my straightforward instructions and prepare this delightful treat today!
I firmly believe that this is one of those recipes that every household should possess. This Potato Pancakes recipe requires merely a handful of common ingredients, and I have yet to encounter anyone who dislikes them. Children absolutely adore these! They can be served with sour cream for breakfast or lavishly topped with this Creamy Mushroom Sauce to create a delectable vegetarian dinner.

Why I appreciate this recipe
I have prepared these potato pancakes probably over a thousand times throughout my life, and they are consistently delightful. This recipe is:

TESTED. I make it at least once a week.
QUICK. Ready in under 30 minutes!
SIMPLE. Requires only 5 ingredients.
FILLING. It will keep you satisfied.
TASTY. Indeed! It is very flavorful.

What type of potatoes are ideal?
I suggest using russet potatoes for this recipe as they are the most effective due to their high starch content. If russets are unavailable, Yukon Gold or Katahdin can be used instead. For further information, refer to this Guide To Every Type Of Potato You Need To Know. Traditionally, the potatoes must be grated, but nowadays, a food processor can accomplish the same task, saving you both time and effort. The decision is yours. 🙂

Can you prepare potato pancakes in advance?

While the optimal way to enjoy these potato pancakes is directly from the frying pan, when they are fresh and wonderfully crispy, they can be successfully frozen. 
Simply cook the potato pancakes thoroughly and allow them to cool completely. 
Once cooled, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours or until they are solid. 
Move the frozen pancakes to freezer storage bags. 
When you are ready to serve, preheat the oven to 450 F.
 Place the frozen latkes on baking sheets in a single layer and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
What distinguishes potato pancakes from latkes?
Potato Latkes and Potato Pancakes are quite alike. They are essentially potato fritters that are fried in oil.

Both latkes and pancakes primarily consist of potatoes and eggs. However, latkes also incorporate baking powder, matzo meal, and occasionally milk. In contrast, potato pancakes typically do not contain these additional ingredients. They can be prepared using either raw or cooked mashed potatoes.

This Easy Potato Pancakes recipe is among the first that my mother taught me, and I make it at least once a month. Therefore, you can trust me when I say these are incredibly delicious! Now that I have persuaded you to try them, there is just one thing left to say: LET'S START COOKING!

Potato Pancakes stacked on top of each other 

HOW TO MAKE POTATO PANCAKES (LATKES):
1. If you are using a food processor: peel and cube the potatoes and onion. Place the vegetables in the food processor and process for approximately 2 minutes, until the potatoes appear "grated" and no lumps remain.If you are using a grater: peel the potatoes and onion and grate them.

2. Transfer the potato mixture into a fine strainer or kitchen towel and attempt to squeeze out nearly all of the liquid into a mixing bowl.

squeezing the liquid out of potato puree 
3. Discard the liquid. You will observe white powder at the bottom of the bowl after pouring out the liquid. This is potato starch, which contributes texture to the pancakes, so it should be retained.

4. Return the potato mixture to the bowl and incorporate eggs, flour, along with some salt and pepper.

5. Combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
6. Heat some vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a spoonful of the potato mixture, spreading it slightly. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the pancakes are crispy and golden brown.

What to Serve with Potato Pancakes
Traditionally, we (the Ukrainians) accompany it with sour cream on the side. Many individuals enjoy pairing applesauce or yogurt with these pancakes.

Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe II


Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe II

Today, I am taking care of breakfast with my traditional Buttermilk Pancakes recipe — prepared entirely from scratch (including tips for making them without buttermilk, if necessary)! I will demonstrate how to create thick, fluffy pancakes that can be ready in less than 15 minutes!

The Ultimate Pancake Recipe
Buttermilk pancakes are a quintessential American breakfast dish, yet despite their straightforward ingredient list, many individuals resort to using box mixes because it seems more convenient. Numerous home bakers have faced challenges with pancakes that are dense, flat, or rubbery, or those that have burnt outsides, uncooked centers, or simply lack flavor. Today, we will address these issues with my favorite, foolproof buttermilk pancake recipe.

While it is rare to find a truly complex buttermilk pancake recipe, many unfortunately omit crucial tips and techniques that can significantly impact your breakfast. Are you aware of the optimal moment to flip? The ideal heat setting for your stovetop? Which substitutions are permissible and which are not? How can you prepare buttermilk pancakes if you do not have buttermilk on hand?

My recipe has been meticulously refined to produce thick, fluffy, and exceptionally flavorful pancakes (akin to my delicate crepes), and I will also be addressing all of these inquiries while sharing my straightforward tips and techniques so that you will never need to reach for that box mix again.
Prepare your (preferably non-stick) skillet and get set for flawless, golden pancakes every time. Let’s get started.

Ingredients Required for Perfect Pancakes
This recipe is simple and utilizes pantry essentials, but let us discuss a few of the ingredients before we begin:
Buttermilk: When mixed with baking soda, this ingredient provides the pancakes with a delightful lift, resulting in a thick and fluffy texture. Its role is not solely chemical; it also imparts a wonderful flavor with a classic yet subtle tang. Refer to my FAQ section below for instructions on how to make this recipe if you do not have buttermilk.

Eggs. Ideally, these should be at room temperature. It is best for all your ingredients to be at this temperature so that the batter mixes easily; however, I understand that most individuals are unlikely to wake up two hours early to allow their buttermilk to reach room temperature, and I would never request you to do something I do not practice myself. Fortunately, this recipe is quite forgiving.
Butter. This should be melted. It is advisable to do this first so that it has time to cool slightly before being added to your buttermilk.
Baking powder and baking soda. The combination of these two leavening agents provides the pancakes with the ideal fluffiness and lift.
Flour. I suggest using all-purpose flour. You may experiment with replacing some of the flour with whole wheat flour; however, since whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture, you might need to add a little extra buttermilk to prevent the batter from becoming too thick. Self-rising flour is not recommended, as the baking powder and salt are already included.

This is merely an overview of the ingredients I utilized and their purposes. For the complete recipe, please scroll down to the end of the post!

How to Make Buttermilk Pancakes
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and vanilla, then drizzle the melted butter into this mixture while whisking. Add this to the dry ingredients.
Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until they are nearly combined. Avoid overmixing, as this will result in pancakes that are flat and dense instead of fluffy.
Cook on medium heat until each side is golden brown. Avoid increasing the heat, as this will produce pancakes with burnt exteriors and raw centers, which is quite unfortunate 🙁

SAM’S TIP: You can determine when your buttermilk pancakes are ready to flip when the edges start to appear set and the bubbles in the batter begin to pop. At this stage, you should be able to easily slide a spatula underneath to gently lift an edge and check: look for a golden brown hue!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I halve the recipe?
Certainly! Zach and I frequently prepare a half batch of buttermilk pancakes for breakfast; it divides easily and the results remain consistent! For the buttermilk, you would require 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons.

What if I lack buttermilk?
You may utilize my buttermilk substitute recipe instead (which only requires milk and vinegar or lemon juice). Pour 2 tablespoons plus ¾ teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into a large measuring cup, then add milk until you reach the 2 ¼ cups specified. Stir well.

However, it is important to note that “homemade” buttermilk is thinner than the authentic version. You might not need to use the entire 2 ¼ cups called for, as it could render your batter runny and your pancakes too thin. If using the substitute, reserve about ½ cup of your buttermilk (thus only using 1 ½ cups) and follow the recipe as directed. If the batter appears too thick, gradually incorporate more of the buttermilk substitute as necessary.

Why did my buttermilk pancakes turn out flat/not fluffy?
This is most likely due to over-mixing the batter, which can result in flat, dense, or even rubbery pancakes. It is crucial not to over-mix your pancake batter — I cannot emphasize this enough. When combining your wet and dry ingredients, gently fold them together with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Leaving a few flour streaks in the batter is actually beneficial!

Can I incorporate blueberries/chocolate chips/etc. into my buttermilk pancakes?
Absolutely! You can add up to a cup of mix-ins to your buttermilk pancake batter. To avoid over-mixing, it is advisable to fold these in when your flour is about halfway incorporated, rather than waiting until you have mostly combined your wet and dry ingredients.
You may also choose to forgo the mix-ins and instead top your pancakes with whipped cream or blueberry sauce. Alternatively, you can use both mix-ins and elaborate toppings; I have no objections!

Can I use this pancake batter to prepare waffles?
Absolutely, you can! Although I possess a waffle recipe that I cherish and would highly recommend, my buttermilk pancake batter also produces delightful waffles.

What toppings complement buttermilk pancakes well?
These pancakes are excellent with just butter and syrup, but at times, I prefer to elevate the experience by adding whipped cream, strawberry sauce, blueberry sauce, caramel sauce, chocolate gravy, or hot fudge sauce!
Have you ever experienced a pancake sundae with ice cream and toppings? It may not be health food, but it is incredibly delicious!

Other Breakfast Recipes You May Enjoy:
  • French Toast or French Toast Casserole
  • Blueberry Muffins or Banana Muffins
  • Scones
  • Cinnamon Rolls

Notes
¹If you do not have buttermilk available, you can attempt to use my simple buttermilk substitute; however, several individuals have indicated that the batter becomes excessively thin for them (which is understandable since homemade buttermilk is less viscous than the authentic version). 

While I have successfully utilized the full amount specified with the buttermilk substitute, due to the experiences of others, I suggest gradually adding the milk until you achieve the desired consistency as demonstrated in the photos and video.

OTHER RECIPES


Pancake Recipe Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Pancake Recipe Instructions

In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter.
 Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. 
You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. 
Stir until it's just blended together. 
Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. 
Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Fluffy Pancakes



Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Made with simple ingredients and a few proven techniques, this recipe delivers tall, airy pancakes every single time.


Why These Pancakes Are Extra Fluffy

✔ Balanced leavening (baking powder + baking soda)
✔ Rested batter for better rise
✔ Gentle mixing to keep air bubbles intact
✔ Medium heat cooking for even lift

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
