Instructions
 

  • Turn on your griddle / warm the fry pan you'll be using - target is 375℉ degrees.
  • Turn on your oven to 200℉ or turn on your warming drawer.
  • Melt and cool the butter.
  • Sift and mix together the dry ingredients. Yes, sift...
  • Fairly vigorously whisk together the liquid. make sure the butter is NOT hot hot hot - else you will scramble the eggs. Get some air into the liquid!
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a spatula - stirring delicately and only until the largest of lumps are gone.
  • Set a timer for 15 minutes and wait. Set the table or something...
  • Use a large spoon or measuring cup or pour from a very large measuring cup onto the griddle. Let the pancakes cook while the batter produces bubbles and they burst. Use a timer / stopwatch on your watch/phone to see how long it took the first side to cook.
  • After the pancakes have a few large holes that haven't receded / filled back in - it is likely that your pancakes are ready to flip. Check one pancake for the right color - before messing with the others. Reminder - In general you want to leave the pancakes alone. Flip ONLY once. Make sure they are ready before you go messing with them. Allow the pancakes to cook a similar amount of time on this second side.
  • Stack pancakes on a cooling rack and place in a 200℉ oven or a warming drawer. (sometimes I do stack them on top of each other and cover with a towel - but the crispy top / bottom may dissipate due to steam...)
  • When all are done - sit down and enjoy with REAL Maple Syrup and maybe some fruit?

Notes

Calorie count does not include REAL Maple Syrup.  Syrup adds another 110 calories for 2 Tablespoons.  
Calorie count is based on Low Fat Buttermilk.  Interestingly full fat buttermilk was an option on the calorie calculator.  Seems full fat buttermilk must be popular somewhere - maybe the south ?
