Tips

  • Don't overmix the batter; some lumps are okay.
  • If the batter is too thick, thin it with more buttermilk.
  • For easier flipping, spray your pancake turner with nonstick spray.
  • Keep finished pancakes warm under aluminum foil in a 200°F oven.
  • Consider using a non-stick pan to avoid greasing and achieve a better browning effect. The addition of oil or spray changes the texture of the pancakes, resulting in a crispy splotched surface, rather than a soft golden one. To improve flavor, use pure melted butter after cooking the pancake.
