How to Make Buttermilk Pancake Recipe

Pour buttermilk mixture slowly into the flour mixture, stirring to combine as you pour. Allow to rest for about 3 minutes.
Heat griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter to griddle or skillet to make sure well coated. Scoop batter onto prepared griddle or skillet by about 1/3 cup.
Allow to cook until the edges have lost their sheen and bubbles have formed in the center of the top of the pancake, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and allow to cook about 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove from griddle or skillet and serve warm or place on a rimmed sheet pan in a 200º F oven to keep warm for serving.
