Directions:How To Make The Pancake Batter Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees. (I use my electric skillet.) Into a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients unitl well blended.
(By the way, if you plan to add blueberries, or sliced bananas, or chopped pecans, do so now.) Into a smaller bowl, put butter into a small bowl and microwave until melted, then I add in the buttermilk and milk and stir. Lastly, add in the two eggs and mix them into the liquid ingredients thoroughly.
Now here's the "trick" for these incredible pancakes -- pour the WET ingredients ALL AT ONCE into the DRY ingredients. Using a large spoon, carefully stir the wet into the dry, using only the minimum number of turns to incorporate the two. There will be lumps of dry flour here and there, and the batter will appear as though you're "not finished mixing." HOWEVER, stop mixing. (Quick note: you're going to be tempted to keep stirring... but DON'T DO IT.) Let the batter sit on the counter for about 5 - 7 minutes. You'll know it's ready when small bubbles are beginning to form on the top.
Once your griddle is hot, put a pat of butter (approximately 1 tbsp.) on the griddle and smooth it with a paper towel to fully cover the bottom of your griddle. Pour about 1/3 cup batter on griddle, when small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, it is ready to be turned over, using a spatula. (Don't "pat" your pancakes with a spatula.)wait approximately one minute or so. Put the pancakes onto a heated plate, cover with a paper towels (or put into an oven at 150 degrees to keep warm) while you make the rest of the pancakes.
If you're only cooking for one or two, you can make a few pancakes, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put the bowl into the refrigerator so you'll be ready to make pancakes again. Make sure you use your batter within 3 days of making it. |
