Basic Pancakes

( Recipe by DomesticGoddess )

 

I've always made my pancakes from scratch,

and this is the recipe I've been using for many years.

 

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk ( *See note below )

1/4 cup oil

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour ( I always add 2 cups )

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

 

Heat griddle to medium-high heat ( 400 degrees F ).

( I use a non-stick tefflon frying pan; spayed with Pam ).

 

In a large bowl, beat eggs, stir in buttermilk and oil.

Add remaining ingredients; beat (or stir) just until large lumps disappear.

For thinner pancakes, add 1 3/4 cups of flour.

For thicker pancakes, add 2 cups of the flour.

 

Lightly grease heated griddle.

Pour batter, ( about 1/4 cup at a time ) onto hot griddle.

Bake until bubbles form, and edges start to dry; turn and bake other side.

 

Makes 16 ( 4-inch ) pancakes, or 32 ( 3-inch ) pancakes.

 

Note: If you have no buttermilk, then add 2 tablespoons

of 5% white vinegar, into a 2 cup measuring bowl ( or measuring cup ).

Fill the measuring bowl or cup up to the 2 cup mark with milk.

( I use 2% milk ). Let set for 5 minutes before using.
