In southern Utah there is a quaint cabin tucked into the hillside surrounding Panguitch Lake. It’s been there as long as I can remember, with its wide wooden porch, upstairs loft of toys, and lovely owner…who happens to be my Aunt Pat. She is a dear little lady with a knack for fishing, generously giving, and making a mean stack of Buttermilk Pancakes. Which she will happily make for you, if you sleep overnight at her cabin (and play with the fashion plates in her toy loft, which I may or may not have done when I visited her there a couple of  years ago.) 

Aunt Pat’s Buttermilk Pancake recipe is hands down the best pancake recipe I have ever tried. Not that I’m trying to pour ill will on the several pancake recipes that are already in my archives. School Morning Pancakes, Pumpkin Pancakes, Chocolate Chip PancakesOatmeal Pancakes, and Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes all have their place in this world and in my life. I wouldn’t want to hurt their feelings you know. That said, if you are looking for a true, classic Buttermilk Pancake recipe…pretty please, my friends. Look no further. This is the recipe you have been waiting for. 

Get your self some buttermilk, butter, a nice mixing bowl and whisk and you will be just minutes away from Buttermilk Pancake heaven. 

Let’s do it, baby. 

 
 
1. Into a medium sized mixing bowl place 1 cup flour
 
 1/2 t baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
 
 
2. Add to the mix 1 tablespoon of sugar
 
 
and whisk it all around to combine.
 
 
3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of melted butter
 
 
1 cup + 2 tablespoons of buttermilk
 
 
and 1 beaten egg. Whisk it together to combined. Don’t over mix here. Just get everything combined and you are good to go.
 
 
 
4. Spray a hot griddle with cooking spray and pour the batter onto it in small circles.
 
 
5. Flip the pancakes over when the batter stops bubbling and the underside is golden brown. Allow the other side to turn nice and golden brown and remove the pancakes to a plate. Serve with maple syrup. 
 

Enjoy!

  2. Hi there! I found you on Pinterest, and your food looks incredibly yummy!!! These pancakes looks so light and fluffy and your pictures are great!
    I'll be back to visit and see what else you're cookin' up!
    Feel free to come by and visit my Cozy Little Kitchen sometime, too. 🙂

  3. These pancakes are the BEST!!! I was so excited to try them out, I made them for LUNCH today. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Our cabin is just over the mountain at Navajo Lake. We spent many summer days hiking down the mountain to the lodge to buy taffy. Nothing tastes better than food at the cabin, however I'm guessing these are hands-down better than Krusteaz pancakes. LOL! We will be having these on Saturday morning.

  5. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories of my own aunt's cabin! And I am always looking for the perfect pancake recipe. Pinning!

  6. I grew up around Panguitch (just across the mountain) and have such fond memories there. My family also has a cabin about 20 miles from Panguitch, but more out towards Bryce Canyon. We always have pancakes when we're at the cabin as well. Something about cooking them on a cast iron skillet that makes them better too I think!

    Now you've got me missing home!! That's where my husband and I want to retire…..some day!:) Lot's of good memories!

    Oh, and your pancakes look delicious!! Can't wait to try them!

  7. I have a cabin at Panguitch Lake, I always cook pancakes on the outside grill, (even on our winter trip, once is was 30 below and I was still outside cooking pancakes) Our winter trip is in a couple of weeks can't wait to try these! Char
