buttermilk pancakes

Sour dairy hotcakes

Buttermilk pancakes are pancakes made with buttermilk rather than regular milk.

The buttermilk's acidity reacts with baking soda to produce a lighter, fluffier texture and a subtle tang.

In American breakfast culture, buttermilk pancakes are the default style at diners and in boxed mixes: a stack of buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup.
