This recipe comes from my Grandma’s cookbook and is a family favorite! Anyone who had ever had these pancakes can attest that these truly are the best pancakes ever! My family has been making these recipes for as long as I can remember and trust me when I tell you they are THE FAVORITE of everyone who tastes them. I think what makes these pancakes so fantastic is the syrup that goes with them! It is truly phenomenal!

True that! those are the best pancakes in the world, and that syrup could cure many of the worlds diseases!
These look great! I guess I won't need to take the family to Ihop in the morning.
Oh yum! These look wonderful! Perfect for Christmas breakfast! merry Christmas to you and your family!
These look fantastic and I have everything to make them NOW(!) but, how much is a cube of butter?
I've certainly heard of buttermilk pancakes, but never buttermilk syrup. I bet that syrup would make any variety of pancakes taste yummy!
@Anonymous a cube is 1 stick or 1/2 cup. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I will change it in the recipe! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!
This will be perfect for our Christmas breakfast, I just will add some fresh fruit.Oh…thanks for the explanation of a "cube of butter".Merry Christmas…!!!
These look and sound amazing! Thanks for sharing.
these were AMAZING. This was our Christmas morning breakfast and everyone enjoyed them. Will defintely keep this recipe for the future.Thanks for sharing.
I made these for breakfast this morning, WOW!!! The syrup was to die for, I could drink it!!!
OMG! Those look amazing!
My pancakes were on the thinner side…are they supposed to be? Anyways, they were delicious and very moist. The syrup was sooo good.
How many pancakes does this recipe make?
Oh my goodness. This is almost my exact pancake recipe, but I have never thought to put buttermilk syrup on them! You are basically my new favorite person.
I have made these a couple times and both times the pancakes were super thin. Are they supposed to be thin or am I doing something wrong?
I just made these and mine were SUPER thin too. (And I know I followed the recipe exactly because I noticed the previous comments about them being thin and didn't want to mess it up.) The first time I poured them in, it was like a crepe. I just added some flour to thicken it up and there were still very thin and just tasted like thick crepes. Weird. And bummer!
Wowza! You aren't kidding about the deliciousness of that syrup and the pancakes were super moist. They don't puff up like some pancake recipes, it to be honest….this is how I like my pancakes. I always make thin pancakes and I even pat them down a little to knock the air out of them (but not with this recipe). I found your blog via pinterest and I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I shared your recipe on my blog? I will be linking back to you of course giving credit where credit is due. :) Have a good weekend.
I see the picture for the Best Pancakes Ever, when I click on it, up comes the Buttermilk Pancake with AMAZING Buttermilk Syrup recipe. Can this be fixed to see the Best Pancakes Ever recipe. :) :) :)
I made these this morning. I like my pancakes thicker so I decreased the buttermilk by 1/2 cup. Also next time I will leave the baking soda out of the syrup. It went from a smooth syrup to being very foamy and there was a bitter aftertaste.
I have made these pancakes several times now and they are to die for. I made them today and tweaked the recipe a little to make it healthier. Whole wheat flour, coconut oil instead of butter. They turned out beautifully. This is the only pancake recipe I will use now. Thank you.
Nikki, thank you for sharing your Grandma’s awesome recipe! I can’t wait to make the syrup today for my little girls party! It sounds awesome. I posted a link from my blog to yours! Thanks again!
I made these pancakes and the syrup today, based on your husband’s favourites list. The pancakes were delicious, the syrup incredible, and the combination DIVINE. These were, by far and away, the best pancakes I’ve ever made. My whole family loved them. I will absolutely be making this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Having recently discovered your site, I’m looking forward to enjoying many more of your suggestions!
Blessings,
Ruth
Syrup was AMAZING!!!! I agree with others though that there seems to be something wrong with the pancake recipe. Maybe too much buttermilk? I ended up adding quite a bit of flour to make it the normal pancake consistency. Thanks for the syrup recipe, though… very easy and sinfully delicious! :)
I tried this recipe about a month ago and am now asked to make them every weekend by my husband. He isn’t a big syrup fan which is great since it leaves more for me. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe.
In the pancake recipe, you list “soda”. Is that soda water or baking soda?
baking soda. Sorry about the confusion, I will go fix that :)
Hi. WOW! I just made these this morning and I must say that syrup is on my short list of the best things I have ever put in my mouth! I’ll agree the pancakes were a little thin, but it didn’t bother me and is an easy fix if it had. I do have a question about the syrup though. Do the leftovers keep and for how long? I still have about a 1/2 cup left and not sure if I can just re-heat and use it later. If not then I’ll probably half that next time, but man on man thanks so much for sharing that recipe. I don’t think I’ll ever eat maple syrup again! Your blog and recipes are fantastic!
I made these this morning and they were amazing. I don’t think I will ever buy pancake mix again and the glaze is awesome!
Already put a request in to eat these in Heaven!! Amazing!
I made these for breakfast this morning(because it’s spring break here) and they were a huge hit. 4/4 of us agree that this recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing such great recipes. I can’t wait to try some of your dinner recipes. By the way, the syrup is absolutely delicious.
Made these tonight, but only had about 3 1/4 C buttermilk. Even with the lessened amount, they were still on the flat side- but good. Recipe made 12 pancakes. Will have to try the syrup another time!
That buttermilk syrup sounds AMAZING. Looking forward to giving it a try this weekend!
I’ve been making this syrup for years, and it’s even better if you add the baking soda while cooking, and let it cook on low for at least 10 minutes…it turns nice and thick and “caramely”.
Make sure you stir often, though, because it will foam over! Yum! Can’t wait to try it with your pancake recipe!
Just made these for dinner and they truly were amazing! A definite keeper!
Can you save the leftover syrup for later use? A few of my kids don’t use syrup (crazy, I know!) so we have a bunch left over. Next time I will half the syrup portion of the recipe.
I am SO glad to hear you liked them. Yep, you can totally save the extra syrup for later. Just store in an air tight container in the fridge and heat up again when needed :)
