Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. (1 minute)

03

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate, resulting in lighter pancakes. (10-15 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold in the Champagne until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing, as this will deflate the batter. (1 minute)

06

Step

Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with butter or cooking spray and heat over medium heat. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. (1 minute)

08

Step

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping when bubbles begin to form on the surface. (4-6 minutes total)

09

Step

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as macerated berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the eggs and whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter just before adding the Champagne.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using.
Feel free to experiment with different flavorings! A teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg would add a lovely touch.
These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.

    I didn't have Champagne, so I used sparkling apple cider instead, and they were still delicious! A great way to use up leftover bubbly.
