Brett loves pancakes, so I was super excited to be able to make him one of my family’s classic recipes. And let me tell you, these were devoured in record time.

We served these with some fresh raspberries and some Canadian maple syrup. And they were absolutely perfect.

What’s In These Family Buttermilk Pancakes?

Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Powdered Buttermilk: you can use fresh buttermilk or powdered buttermilk!  I don’t cook with buttermilk often, so I find that keeping a bag of buttermilk powder in the pantry for pancakes is much more cost effective than buying fresh buttermilk. Plus it lasts for months, so I never have to waste it.
  • All purpose flour
  • Sugar: I used a organic granulated sugar for these pancakes.
  • Baking Powder: I use a no sodium baking powder to keep the amount of salt down in this dish.  It’s a small change, but makes a huge difference!
  • Baking Soda: I used normal baking soda from my pantry
  • Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
  • Milk of choice: I used shelf-stable almond milk to keep this a pantry-friendly recipe. I love the slight nuttiness and creaminess of almond milk, so this is usually my go-to almond milk for recipes.  You can use whatever milk you would normally drink.
 
Aunt Ruth’s recipe calls for 3/4 teaspoon salt, but I cut ours back to 1/4 teaspoon. We try to minimize our sodium intake wherever possible, and to me, it didn’t make a difference for these pancakes. They were still super delicious with the lower salt amount, so we will go with that in the future. 🙂
 

How Do I Make These Family Favorite Brunch Buttermilk Pancakes?

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, stir well to ensure there are no lumps in the batter. Grease a large frying pan or griddle.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of batter to the pan for each pancake and cook over low heat. When little bubbles form around the pancakes (around 6 or 7 minutes on my stovetop), flip and cook for a few minutes on the second side until golden brown.
  3. Stack, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve with fresh fruit!

Powdered Buttermilk Recipes

I feel like buttermilk is a super old-school ingredient. It’s not used too much in contemporary recipes that I’ve seen – aside from pancakes and batter for frying. That being said, if you don’t have fresh buttermilk on hand, powdered buttermilk is an amazing substitute! It gives these pancakes a delicious je ne sais quoa that regular pancakes don’t have.  Sweet and savory, the buttermilk is the perfect touch.
