Buttermilk Pancakes - Snowman

There's something magical about waking up to the smell of buttermilk pancakes on a cold winter morning, especially when those pancakes are shaped like cheerful little snowmen. This Christmas season, we've been turning our weekend breakfast routine into something extra special with these homemade buttermilk pancakes – fluffy, golden, and perfectly stackable for creating the cutest snowman faces you've ever seen.

If you've been stuck in the frozen pancake aisle wondering if homemade could really be easier, I'm here to tell you it absolutely is. This recipe comes together in minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, and the buttermilk creates the most tender, flavorful pancakes that store-bought mixes just can't compete with. Plus, when you make them yourself, you know exactly what's going into your family's breakfast – no mystery ingredients, no preservatives, just real food that tastes incredible.

The snowman shapes are surprisingly simple (no fancy molds required – just three circles of batter in graduating sizes), and my kids go absolutely wild for them. We add blueberry eyes and mini chocolate chips for smile + buttons. It's become one of those traditions that makes December mornings feel a little more festive and a lot more fun. And the best part? These pancakes freeze beautifully, so you can make a big batch ahead and have magical snowman breakfasts ready to go all season long.
