Amish Buttermilk Pancakes are a classic breakfast treat known for their light and fluffy texture with a hint of tangy richness from the buttermilk. Made with simple, wholesome ingredients, this recipe creates pancakes that are perfect for stacking and topping with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit. Easy to prepare, these pancakes bring comforting, homemade goodness to your breakfast table!
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and oil (or melted butter) until combined, then add the buttermilk and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough and flat pancakes. It's ok if the batter is still a bit lumpy.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Pour or ladle circles of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, then gently flip the pancake over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil or cooking spray to the pan as needed.
Serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, Nutella, peanut butter, fruit, or whipped cream.
