Simple buttermilk pancakes smothered in butter and syrup….it doesn’t get much better than that folks!Soft and fluffy, these pancakes are ready to soak up all the maple syrup and melted butter! The pancake batter is super easy to make, which is very important when it’s too early in the morning to think, lol!This a great staple recipe that everyone should have on hand. No need to buy that box of pre-made mix!If you like the box mix for the convenience, measure out the dry ingredients into a plastic bag and write the needed liquid ingredients and their quantities on the bag. Now it’s ready to go whenever you need it!Fluffy Pancakes RecipeIn my opinion, pancakes shouldn’t be complicated. Yes, you can make fancier pancakes with all the add-ins but I prefer to keep them simple and let my guests decide how to top them.These would be great for a buffet style breakfast or a pancake bar. Keeping the pancakes simple (yet delicious) allows your guests or family to choose what to add.I like to offer different berries, freshly whipped cream, powdered sugar, butter, syrup, and mini chocolate chips for topping options.They would also be great topped with honey and nuts, jams, or even fruit flavored cream cheese!Don’t be afraid to go crazy with all the toppings either……..it’s like having dessert for breakfast!

Pour ¼ cupfuls onto heated skillet/griddle.Cook pancakes until bubbles start to form (about 1 minute). Flip and cook 1-2 more minutes or until golden. Serve immediately.Recipe NotesI don’t recommend subbing in homemade buttermilk (milk+vinegar) for this recipe. It’s not thick enough and doesn’t make tall fluffy pancakes.
