This is my mother's and grandmother's old-fashioned buttermilk pancakes recipe from Western Tennessee. I have never found anything that comes close to the flavor of these pancakes. Add small berries for a different flavor boost. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil , or as needed
Instructions
-
1
Preheat a griddle to medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
2
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, and butter; stir until well blended but some small lumps remain. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough and rubbery.
-
3
Pour oil on a paper towel; spread over griddle to lightly grease. Splash griddle with a few drops of water to test it; water should dance across the surface and not instantly steam and evaporate.
-
4
Drop batter by ¼ to ⅓ cupfuls onto the griddle; cook until the sides start to shine and look stiff, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.

Semla
A semla (semlor is the plural form) is a Swedish cardamom bun filled with marzipan and sweetened cream. These are traditionally served on Fat Tuesday, but nowadays these delicious pastries are happily eaten as often as they can be found. We love that these are not too sweet and are just big enough.
