Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar as substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 1 teaspoon red food coloring or natural strawberry/raspberry puree
  • About 1 teaspoon blue food coloring or natural blueberry puree
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula, leaving some lumps for fluffiness.
  4. Divide batter into three bowls. Add red food coloring or strawberry puree to one, leave one plain, and add blue food coloring or blueberry puree to the third. Stir gently.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour red batter using a ladle or 1/4 cup measure. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes). Repeat with white and blue batters, stacking pancakes as you go.
  7. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  8. Assemble the stack by layering pancakes in red, white, and blue order. Top generously with whipped cream and optionally garnish with fresh berries or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Keep skillet temperature steady at medium heat. Wait for bubbles before flipping pancakes. Whip cream just until soft peaks form to avoid butter. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond milk and lemon juice, and use coconut cream for topping. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend.
