Classic Dinner Pancakes

By

If you want to save money, make pancakes for dinner. We’re going to be eating a lot of pancakes. Please please please prittyplease whip these up for yourself. I don’t know why they’re so good but they just are. I’ve made them lots of times and every time – seriously – EVERY time, they come out perfectly. Just a little fluffy, with a tiny bit of sweetness, but not overly heavy and filling.

I mean, why would you make these for breakfast when you could make these for dinner? Pancakes = Dinner. Tonight.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Separate eggs; beat egg yolks. Sift dry ingredients; add alternately with buttermilk to the beaten egg yolks. Add melted butter. Beat egg whites and fold into the batter.

Bake on hot griddle (400 degrees) until bubbles rise in the pancakes, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.


Notes:
I use my Griddler for this so I can see the exact temperature of the griddle. 400 degrees is the magic number – it works beautifully every time. It’s one of the higher settings, so if you’re using a skillet I’d set it at medium-high or high.
