How To Make Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. Place flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, buttermilk, egg and vanilla into a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Finely chop fresh strawberries then take a fork and mash until nicely mashed. Add mashed strawberries to bowl and stir to combine. I added a drop of red food coloring to enhance the pink, but it is completely optional. Spoon a couple tablespoons of batter into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. With spoon, form a round pancake. Let cook until batter starts to bubble, takes about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned, about 1-2 additional minutes. Transfer to plate. Continue until all pancake batter is used. Keep pancakes warm.

Give a nice mix. I added 1 drop of red food coloring to enhance the pink, however it is not necessary.

Ready for the Nutella Syrup?! Ok, start with a stick of butter and sugar right into a saucepan.

How To Make Homemade Nutella Buttermilk Syrup

  1. To prepare syrup, place butter, sugar and buttermilk into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. When mixture starts to boil reduce heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Syrup will bubble and rise. Remove from heat and stir in Nutella until melted. Drizzle over pancakes.

Your syrup will bubble and foam just like this.

Break out your Nutella and try to not eat the whole jar with a spoon before using in the syrup 🙂

Tips For Making The Best Pancakes

  1. Mix lightly and give batter a rest!  Mix pancakes minimally to avoid forming toughening gluten. There are a few ways to ensure that you mix pancake batter well without overmixing it. Have all your ingredients at room temperature. Mix cold buttermilk and eggs with melted butter and you get clumps of butter—not the end of the world, but not optimal for even distribution.
  2. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients separately before combining.
  3. Give the batter a rest before cooking. A rest of at least five minutes allows for the even hydration of the batter and also allows the gluten you created—which will develop even with careful, minimal mixing—to relax. The lumps will smooth out somewhat during this rest.
  4. Test a small pancake in the hot skillet/griddle to make sure temperature is good.  No need to waste a full size pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles cover the surface; flip before they all break.

    These were very good! I used some leftover strawberry purée instead of the chopped strawberries, so I’m not sure if that’s why the strawberry flavor seemed to get lost. But I’m not complaining, because that syrup is amazing!!! I could drink it from a glass and be in heaven!

  2. Kevin @ Closet Cooking

    That stack of strawberry pancakes looks so good and they would be perfect with nutella syrup!

    Made these today. Let me just say as a family that eats pancakes or French toast every weekend, and who has a hubby who only likes “plain & nothing fancy”. These were a huge hit in my house. Even my teenager who doesn’t like nutella (switched at birth, I think!) Loved these. Hubby said I could make these every weekend from now on. My picky 7 yr. old who doesn’t like pancakes and asked for thirds with these. Huge hit in my house! Thanks!

    Nutella Syrup?? oh man, I’m in trouble this weekend!
    I hope you and your family are doing well! Your new little man is so cute!

  5. Cindy

    Made these this morning and it was so good! The Nutella syrup was amazing and so easy! Thanks for the great recipe. 🙂

  6. Caroline @ chocolate & carrots

    What a perfect breakfast treat! I think I’m going to have to request this for my birthday….in November (yes, I’m already thinking about it). 😉

    I made these pancakes this morning for my son’s Valentine’s breakfast that I prepare for him every year – even on a school morning we do a special breakfast. They were decadent! Defintely rich! The syrup sounded a little much with 1 stick of butter so I used 1/2 stick and it was plenty! Added some mini chocolate chips to the pancake batter. My son loved them and said they were chocolatey! Thanks for the great idea and new recipe! I cut out a small heart shaped piece of butter to top it off – very festive!

  8. Audra | The Baker Chick

    What a wonderful recipe! I love the pureéd strawberries inside- adds such a wonderful pink color to the batter!

  9. Becky

    I’m thinking I don’t even want to know the calorie count on these babies! Will be the perfect valentine’s day breakfast for my son. I’ve been making him a special v-tine’s day breakfast ever since he was just a little guy. I’ll be adding some mini chocolate chips to the pancakes. Thanks for the idea!

    Saw the picture and thought OMG just the thing for my BFF and and me. We both love strawberries and Nutella so had to print us each a copy. Thanks so much.

  11. Julie @ Table for Two

  12. Joey

  13. Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet

    These look divine! We try to do a pancake night once a week. I am adding this to the list!

  14. Blair Lonergan (The Seasoned Mom)

    I love the pink pancakes, but that Nutella syrup could probably be consumed on its own with a big straw!

  15. Heidi @ Bits of Sunshine

    that syrup sounds (and looks) amazing! This combo sounds perfect to sweeten my husbands valentines day (and his birthday!)

  16. LOdoesmakeup

    This look so yummy ! Thanks for the recipe, I’m definitely going to try it!
    Love from France

  17. Averie @ Averie Cooks

    Jenny they look so good! I made my daughter a strawberry bday cake + strawberry buttercream for her bday last weekend and if I made these pancakes, they’d be a huge hit here. Love Nutella, too!
