How to Make Extreme Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups buttermilk, 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix!
  4. If using brown sugar, stir in 2-4 tablespoons to taste. If using pancake syrup, add 1/4 - 1/2 cup to the wet ingredients in step 2. Add 1/2 cup mashed banana if desired.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!
