Pancake House Pancakes

Anyone that has ever been to the Pancake House knows that their pancakes are heavenly. They are light, airy, and practically melt in your mouth.

Pancake House Pancakes

  • Yield: 8-10 medium-size pancakes
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 C all-purpose flour
  • 4 T sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 C buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.

  2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add the melted butter.

  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix together until just combined.

  4. Pour batter onto med-hot griddle to your desired size. I usually use my 1/3 measuring cup.
    If you wish, gently press some fresh blueberries onto the batter or sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.

  5. When you see bubbles start to rise, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown.

  6. Keep the finished pancakes in a warming oven until all are cooked. Serve with your favorite syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
