Weekend mornings were made for pancakes and brunch. These Easy buttermilk pancakes UK recipe are perfect for a family breakfast. They can be whipped up quickly and when combined with your favourite pancake toppings everyone is happy. Adding buttermilk to the classic recipe makes for extra fluffy pancakes. Enjoy my perfect buttermilk pancakes for two recipe.
Sieve into a large bowl the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and caster sugar.
In a new jug whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vanilla and milk until combined.
Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mix until you have a smooth and lump-free batter.
Place your frying pan on a medium-low heat and add a teaspoon of butter to melt in the pan. If it's a super non stick pan you won't need much butter.
Spoon the mixture into the pan leaving space between them. Make them the size of buttermilk pancakes you want. I tend to do 3 at a time in my frying pan.
Keep an eye on the buttermilk pancakes and when you start to see bubbles appear (after about 1-2 minutes) flip them over and cook for another 60 seconds until golden brown on both sides.
Serve the pancakes and enjoy with your favourite toppings.
Notes
If you have leftover batter you can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you have leftover pancakes you can freeze the buttermilk pancakes for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost and gently warm up in a frying pan.
I prefer a stack of mini buttermilk pancakes but you could make one giant one if you fancy.
If it's a super non stick pan you won't need much butter.
