Ingredients

• For the pancakes
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 4 Tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 eggs, separated
• 8 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup milk
• Canola or coconut oil, for frying
• For the bar
• Softened butter
• Peanut Butter
• Nutella
• Cookie Butter
• Fruits (Strawberries, bananas, blueberries, or sauteed apples and peaches)
• Toasted nuts
• Shredded coconut
• Sprinkles
• Whipped Cream
• Warm maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a griddle over medium heat and cover with a thin layer of neutral oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, soda, and baking powder.

In another medium bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks, then whisk in the butter, buttermilk, and milk.

Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry mixture and stir gently until barely combined.

Add lightly beaten egg whites to the mixture and gently stir until a thick, lumpy bumpy batter forms. Stop before the batter smooths out. Lumpy batter is good!

Drop quarter cups of batter onto the preheated pan. Cook until bubbles start to appear on the exposed surface of the pancake. When bubbles appear, flip pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until browned. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.

Recipe Notes

To make ahead: Once the pancakes are cooled, stack them between sheets of parchment paper and place them in a ziplock bag. Refrigerate or freeze for up to 2 months.

When you're ready to party, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wrap the pancake stacks in foil or lay them on a sheet pan and wrap the sheet pan in foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until hot. There is no need to defrost the pancakes. Alternatively, place stacks of 2-5 pancakes in the microwave and microwave for 1 minute.
