Hmm... I don't make pancakes often, but I'd suggest doing a search. Don't just get the first one off the net, though, look for one off a site with a rating system.

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
cooking spray


Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Just get some batter blaster and a non stick pan

No reason to dirty anything over pancakes

Pancakes are like flat cakes (hence the cake part of the name) and so you should go with the same technique of making a cake.

Don't over mix.

Cream ingredients first then add dry.

The best cooking vessel to use is an electric griddle set at 350 degrees.

Two cups of a low gluten flour like Pillsbury All Purpose.
3/4 cup of buttermilk
1 egg
1 egg white
2 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp of salt(kosher or sea please)
1/2 teaspoon of real vanilla extract

1. Wisk dry ingredients together in a bowl
2. Wisk wet ingredients except for the egg white in a bowl
3. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and wisk to just combine. A few lumps is preferably to a very smooth batter.
4. Beat egg white to medium peaks and fold into the batter.

5. Rub the griddle with a stick of butter cover the surface and use a 1/4 or a 1/3 of a cup measuring cup to pour the pancakes on the batter.
6. Wait to flip until there are large bubbles on the top side of the pancakes.
7. Serve with melted unsalted butter and your favorite syrup.

If you want to add blueberries use frozen not fresh they will hold their texture and not make the entire pancake blue.

This is my grandmothers recipe and they are the best I have ever had. She used a vanilla bean flavored sugar, so I am adding the 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to account for the flavor.

Simple answers are never the best simple solutions.

This, and make sure your leavening agent (AP flour or baking powder) is fresh.

Find someone who has the cookbook "Southern Sideboards". The buttermilk pancake recipe in there is to die for.

Buttermilk Pancakes

I use this recipe, but don't make the apples. We normally add blueberries and use the vinegar and milk combo instead of actual buttermilk.
