Pancakes Recipe

Start your day with a stack of homemade Pancakes. A classic breakfast favorite for all ages.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
• 2 & 1/2 cups flour, spooned and leveled
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs, separated
• Bacon grease, for frying (butter works too)

Instructions

1. Heat your oven to 170 degrees F, sometimes called the “keep warm” setting.
2. Add the butter to a large bowl and microwave until it is melted. Set aside to cool a little bit.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
4. Add the buttermilk and milk to the melted butter.
5. Separate the eggs: add the whites to a small bowl and the yolks to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Whisk in the yolks.
6. Use a small whisk of fork to beat the egg whites a little bit, just 20 seconds or so until they start getting a little bubbly. It will help them fold in evenly.
7. Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir roughly with a wooden spoon. Don’t overdo it! Just barely combine it. There should still be streaks for flour.
8. Beat the egg whites a little then add them to the batter. Fold in gently. It’s okay if there are still streaks of egg white.
9. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. When it is hot, smear a little bacon grease over the griddle.
10. Scoop the batter using a half cup measurement. When bubbles on top start to pop, flip the pancakes. They should be a nice golden brown.
11. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are golden on both sides.
12. Remove the pancakes to a cooking rack and keep warm in the oven that you turned on.
13. Repeat with the remaining batter.
14. Serve with lots of butter and syrup. And peanut butter.
