The BEST Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes & Waffles (Made From Scratch)

Simple, comforting, and made with real ingredients

If you’ve never made your own buttermilk pancakes or waffles from scratch, this is your sign to start. It’s easier than you think, and once you taste the difference, you won’t want to go back to the boxed mixes.

This homemade batter comes together with simple, wholesome ingredients and gives you soft, tender pancakes and perfectly golden waffles every time. It’s the kind of recipe that feels nourishing, comforting, and just really good — the way homemade food should be.

Pancakes or waffles — which are you choosing?

Are you a pancake person who loves a soft, cozy stack? Or do you go for waffles with those golden edges and little pockets that hold all the toppings?

The best part is—you don’t have to choose. This one batter does both, so you can make whatever you’re craving in the moment.
