Easy Pancakes Recipe: The Perfect Buttermilk Pancake
Ranked #8,299 in Food & Cooking, #151,413 overall
Buttermilk Pancake Recipe, customized by me with much trial and error!
This pancake recipe is a simple one, using bisquick mix and yogurt to give it some unique buttermilk flavor. It also uses vanilla and almond extract. These pancakes turn out tasting like mini cakes, and they are so good that my husband always requests that I make these!
These are delicious for breakfast, brunch, or just snacking. I'll eat them plain, or with maple syrup and almond butter.

Hints on How to Make Homemade Pancakes
Helpful Pancake Tips
1. The first batch of pancakes is usually slowest, and each batch of pancakes seems to cook faster. So be ready for really quick pancakes!
2. Don't flip the pancakes more than once. This tends to toughen them.
3. You can add more butter between pancakes batches if you'd like to.
4. When more butter is used, pancakes have more of a yellow golden color, compared to a darker brown color when butter isn't used.
5. It's OK if there are still some lumps in your batter. I've heard that overmixing it can make your pancakes tough.
6. Feel free to experiment!
Substitutions and Modifications
1 3/4 Buttermilk can be substituted for the Yogurt and MilkVanilla Yogurt can be used instead of Plain Yogurt, but then skip the extra Vanilla.
If your batter seems too thick, add a little extra milk.

- I know yogurt seems like a strange thing. I discovered it one day when I wanted to make buttermilk pancakes but knew that I didn't have buttermilk and that I probably wouldn't be buying it..... I liked the idea of yogurt because I can eat it too! But I'm not likely to be drinking buttermilk, so any leftover buttermilk would probably go to waste. I recommend the plain low-fat yogurt, but I have also made this recipe with original yogurt which is thicker and also vanilla yogurt. Yummy every time!
