Enjoy a delightful breakfast or brunch with these amazing homemade batter cakes. The batter is light and fluffy, creating pancakes that are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. Serve them with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet if necessary.
  7. Serve the batter cakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or any other desired toppings.

Interesting Facts

  • Buttermilk helps to create a tender texture and adds a subtle tangy flavor to the batter cakes.
  • Using a mix of both buttermilk and regular milk creates the perfect balance of richness and lightness in the pancakes.
  • Allowing the batter to have some lumps ensures a fluffy texture in the finished pancakes.
