Preparation

Step 1

Heat an electric griddle to 350 or set a heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Heat the oven to the lowest possible temperature (not more than 200F)
Place the pancake mix in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the egg whites and the buttermilk in a second bowl.
Whisk the egg yolks into the cooled melted butter(right in the pan is fine)
Whisk the butter mixture completely into the buttermilk mixture.
Dumpt the wet team onto the dry team and quickly bring together with a large whisk. I allow myslef only 10 stirs, then I walk away....just walk away. Yes, there will be some lumps int he batter. Yes, this is fine. Necessary, in fact.
Check on the griddle. When a drop of wter skittles across the surface, it's ready. Lightly lube the griddle with the butter, sortening, or nonstick spray and wipe off the excess with a papper towel.
Ladle 1 oz (by volume) of batter onto the briddle. (How will you knwo how much batter is 1 oz? Because you're going to use either a #20 disher or a 1 oz ladle. Cook for 3 minutes or utnil the bubbles around the upsdie edge set. If you wish to integrate fruite into the pancake itself, add it after the batter has been on the griddle for about 1 minutes.
Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven by placing cakes on a half sheet pan abd covering them with a tea towel for up to 20 minutes. To freeze, cooked pancakes, cool completely, then place them in zip-top freezer bags. Seal the bags, removing as much air as possible. The frozen pancakes can easily be heated up in a toaster or toaster oven.
