## Equipment

- large bowl
- small bowl
- whisk
- spoon
- skillet or griddle

## 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.
