Martha Stewart Buttermilk Pancakes
"The key to fluffy pancakes is not to overmix the batter; it should not be beaten smooth. If serving these pancakes with bacon, reserve half a teaspoon of bacon drippings to grease the griddle instead of butter. Serve with Raspberry Syrup, if desired."

- Yields:
-
9 6inch pancakes
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle
directions
- Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
- Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon of butter or reserved bacon fat onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
- Using a 4-ounce ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
- Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve warm.

These have great flavor, but found them to be too thin. 3 cups buttermilk to 2 cups flour was too much liquid. Will try them with less buttermilk next time. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game. -
We really enjoyed these pancakes. Great taste and texture. I also made only half the recipe. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012. -
Hubby gives his thumbs up! We liked that these are not heavy-must be the Swede in us. TY for posting, FullyClothedChef. -
I made half the recipe for the 3 of us. It was enough for us. These pancakes are not thick like the ones I'm used to do. But still the taste and texture was great. thanks FullyClothedChef :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game -
