Hmm, hard to say Kati, unless the batter was really overmixed. I recently made another buttermilk pancake recipe that I thought was even better! You can check it out here:

I looooved these pancakes. I made them for dinner last night and they were a hit! Way better than the boxed stuff from the store. My batter came out pretty runny though, and my pancakes were flat. Can you guess what I did wrong? I know my baking soda and powder were fresh. Other than that, they were soooo awesome!

Hi Rachel,

Yes, you can replace the buttermilk with yogurt. And of course, there is no silly question! To keep the same texture and avoid dry pancakes, substitute using 3 parts plain whole-milk yogurt and 1 part milk. In the case of these pancakes, which calls for 2 cups of buttermilk, you would use 1-1/2 cups of plain whole-milk yogurt with 1/2 cup milk.

Enjoy the pancakes!

It’s like you read my mind! I was hoping to make some pancakes with strawberry sauce this week since I have a ton of strawberries in my fridge. This recipe looks perfect!

I love Alton’s recipe! American style pancake mixes are hard to find here in Europe so I always make them from scratch using this recipe.

Oh, great, I haven’t found a buttermilk pancake recipe that I love yet either, even after much searching. I should’ve known to check Alton’s recipe when Cooks Illustrated failed me!
