A simple and soul-soothing recipe for tender, airy buttermilk pancakes topped with a luscious cinnamon butter, perfect for cozy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon butter)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for cinnamon butter)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. (5 minutes)
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
  3. Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Some lumps are okay—don’t overmix. (2 minutes)
  4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to activate the baking powder and soda.
  5. Prepare cinnamon butter: Combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix until creamy and well blended. Set aside or refrigerate. (5 minutes)
  6. Heat the skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, it’s ready. (3 minutes)
  7. Cook the pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden. Adjust heat as needed. (10-15 minutes for all pancakes)
  8. Serve warm: Stack pancakes on plates and spread a generous dollop of cinnamon butter on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Prepare cinnamon butter ahead for convenience. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a big batch. Add a splash of buttermilk to batter if it thickens too much.
