Notes
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
Buttermilk: If you don’t have any on hand you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
Eggs: Use room-temperature eggs to help your batter come together.
Flour: Too much flour will lead to a dry pancake. Measure by spooning flour into your measuring cup and leveling with a knife. Do not dip your cup into your flour, as you may overmeasure.
Tips and Tricks
Don’t Overmix: It is okay if the batter looks a little lumpy. Mix until the flour just disappears. Overmixing leads to a tough dense end result.
Batter: It is okay if it is on the thick side. If it is so thick that you can’t easily pour it add a little more milk.
Let It Rest: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This will help the flour to absorb more moisture and give the leavening agents time to work.
Cook On Medium Heat: High heat can burn the outside, but leave the middle raw. Before cooking the pancakes, test the heat of the pan by adding a drop of water. If the water sizzles and evaporates, the pan is ready. If the water pops and jumps, the pan is too hot.
Flip Once: Flip only once when you see bubbles beginning to form.
Avoid pressing down on them when you’re cooking even if it is tempting. Doing so will ruin the air pockets you’ve worked so hard to create.
Keep them warm in a 200-degree oven while you cook the rest of the batter.
