What You Need

Equipment:

• Air fryer (I used a Cosori Air Fryer)
• Silicone molds (for evenly shaped pancakes)
• Cookie scoops (for mess-free batter distribution)
• Whisk

Ingredients:

Wet Ingredients

• 2 cups (460ml) buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

How to Make Air Fryer Pancakes

1. In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well.
2. Sift in flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
3. Grease the silicone molds with cooking spray.
4. Add a small scoop of batter into each mold and place them in the air fryer basket.
5. Cook at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes until the tops turn golden.
6. Use tongs to flip the pancakes directly into the air fryer basket and cook for another 4 minutes.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the molds each time.
8. Serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.

Tips & Tricks

• Use buttermilk for fluffier pancakes. The acid helps activate the baking soda, creating light, airy pancakes.
• Don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are fine—overmixing makes pancakes dense.
• Cook in batches. Most air fryers can fit about four pancakes at a time.
• Let pancakes cool on a wire rack. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
