📢 The Fluffiest Buttermilk Pancakes You’ll Ever Eat! 🥞🔥

If your pancakes aren’t soft, buttery, and ridiculously fluffy, are you even doing breakfast right? These pancakes are the real deal—light, golden, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Here’s how to make them:

🍽 Ingredients:

✅ 2 cups all-purpose flour
✅ 2 tbsp sugar
✅ 2 tsp baking powder
✅ 2 tsp baking soda
✅ ½ tsp kosher salt
✅ 2½ cups real buttermilk (trust me, it makes a difference!)
✅ 2 eggs
✅ ¼ cup melted butter
✅ Neutral oil or butter for the pan

👨🏽‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2️⃣ Add buttermilk & eggs and mix gently (don’t overmix—lumps are your friend!). Stir in the melted butter.
3️⃣ Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to get that extra fluffiness.
4️⃣ Heat & grease a pan over medium heat.
5️⃣ Scoop out ⅓ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then FLIP! Golden brown perfection takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
6️⃣ Stack ‘em high, drizzle with syrup, and enjoy! 🥞✨
