These buttermilk pancakes are light, airy, and easy to make, while the triple berry sauce adds a burst of flavor that takes them to the next level. Let’s dive into this perfect combination!
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Triple Berry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Triple Berry Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. (A few lumps are okay—overmixing will make the pancakes dense.)
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and generously spoon the triple berry sauce over the top.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Use fresh buttermilk: It adds tanginess and makes the pancakes extra fluffy.
- Don’t overmix the batter: A light hand is key for airy pancakes.
- Keep them warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while making the rest.
