Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • If buttermilk is unavailable, substitute with 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar (let sit for 5 minutes).
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
