Sometimes, the calories are worth it. 😉 The pancakes are a family favorite. I double the recipe and make a bunch of small cakes to freeze.

Open in Pepper →Buttermilk is what makes a pancake tender instead of tough, with those crisp lacy edges and a little tang behind the sweetness. Once you've made them from scratch, the boxed stuff never tastes the same.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on slow Saturday mornings, on school days when everybody needs feeding fast, and on the nights when breakfast for dinner is the only thing that sounds good.
Every recipe here is a real buttermilk pancake: Buttermilk Pancakes with brown sugar, Super Easy Buttermilk Pancakes for a hurry, Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, Granny Parrott's with self-rising flour, a pancake casserole, and a homemade mix to keep in the pantry.
Stop stirring early
Mix just until the flour disappears, about 10 strokes. Lumps are fine and they cook out; overmixing makes tough, flat pancakes.
Let the batter rest
Give it 10 minutes on the counter before the first pour so the baking powder and soda start working and the flour hydrates.
Keep the pan medium
Medium heat, around 350°F on an electric griddle, cooks them through in 2 to 3 minutes a side without burning the outside.
Flip only once
Wait until bubbles break across the top and the edges look dry, then turn. A second flip presses out the air you just built.
