Cracker Barrel Pancakes are fluffy, buttery, and perfect for breakfast or brunch, replicating the comforting taste of the classic pancakes served at the popular restaurant chain. These pancakes are light and airy with a slightly crisp exterior, making them the ideal vessel for soaking up syrup, honey, or a dollop of whipped butter. Made with simple ingredients like flour, buttermilk, eggs, and a hint of vanilla, these pancakes are easy to whip up and sure to please the whole family. Whether you’re serving them with traditional maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings, Cracker Barrel Pancakes are a delicious way to start your day with a homemade touch.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Preheat the Griddle:
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm and Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Cracker Barrel Pancakes are the perfect way to enjoy a hearty, homemade breakfast that tastes just like the restaurant’s version. Their fluffy texture and rich flavor make them a delightful treat for any morning occasion.
