Instructions

In a small separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk flour mixture to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, or large measuring cup, add the buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, and melted butter that has been cooled. Whisk to combine.
Make a in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, there will still be some small lumps. Let the batter rest 10 minutes.
While your batter is resting, if using an electric griddle, preset the heat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a large skillet on the stovetop, set the burners at medium heat. Add the oil and spread around the skillet to prevent the better from sticking.
Working in batches, add about ¼ cup of batter to the skillet, lightly spreading the batter out. If using a large griddle, you may cook more than one at a time in a single layer.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are starting to turn golden-brown. This should take 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.
When done, transfer to a baking sheet rimmed with a fitted wire rack and place in an oven preheated to warm or 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
Continue this process until all the batter has been cooked.
Serve a tall stack with softened butter and maple syrup or your desired topping.

Notes

How to Make Buttermilk Pancakes Even if You Don’t have Buttermilk?

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let this sit a few minutes. You will notice the milk texture start to change. At this point, it is ready to add to your pancake batter.

Additionally, the lemon juice adds a subtle tang. The acid in the lemon juice also combines with the baking soda and baking powder to create help the batter lift during the cooking process. You will end up with flapjacks that are light-as-air.
