Description

Nothing beats homemade buttermilk pancakes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 heaping tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pint buttermilk
  • 3 eggs
  • butter for the griddle
  • maple syrup served over the top

Instructions

  1. Add flour, baking powder and salt to one large mixing bowl, stirring with wire whisk to combine.
  2. In a second mixing bowl, mix buttermilk and baking soda, allowing the mixture to froth up.
  3. In a third mixing bowl, slightly beat the three eggs together.
  4. Add all ingredients to the first bowl and hand mix.
  5. Heat a griddle or skillet on the stove to medium, allowing 1 T butter to melt on the pan.
  6. Spoon some batter for a test pancake into the middle of the pan, once it is hot.  Spoon enough batter for about a 3-4 inch diameter pancake.
  7. Allow the pancake to bubble up and once the bubbles begin to pop on their own, check underneath the cooked side with a spatula for a golden brown color. If it is this color, it is time to flip.
  8. If you like your test pancake, keep your temperature steady at this level, add more butter to the pan if needed, and spoon more batter onto griddle/ pan to make multiple pancakes at once.

Notes

  • Once cooked, you can freeze these and use later!
  • Using bacon grease for your griddle gives a rich and savory flavor worth trying.
  • Real maple syrup for the top is a must!
