Pancake Recipe

An overnight pancake batter with yeast might produce fluffier cakes, but I like this recipe because you can do it on the fly without waiting and it still rises considerably.

Dry Ingredients 

2 c pastry flour
1 tbl sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp baking powder
1 tbl cornstarch 

Wet Ingredients 

1 pint buttermilk
2 large eggs
2 tbl olive oil 

Combine all dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before mixing together. Bring to batter to room temperature before ladling onto the griddle. The warmer the pancake, the more it will rise when cooked.

Any ingredient can be added to spice it up:

Green tea powder, oreos, orange zest & campari, pumpkin puree…the skies the limit.
