Source: The Washington Post, c. 1994(?)
Serves: 4
Cook's Notes:
geekmama said the
Cook's Illustrated's best buttermilk pancakes recipe is delicious, so I need to at least try 'em. You see, after receiving my issue of the magazine and reading the recipe, I'd decided that while the sour cream undoubtedly made the pancakes scrumptious, I was reluctant to stray from the recipe my family's been using for 15 years or so. Originally from The Washington Post's Food section, this is my adaptation (their version used less buttermilk).
Buttermilk Pancakes
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (generous)
2 large eggs, beaten
3 cups buttermilk
sift flour and baking soda into large bowl; add salt
add beaten eggs and buttermilk and mix until blended (don't worry about lumps)
grease skillet or griddle, temp medium hot (drop of water will bounce on surface)
spoon/pour approximately 1/4 cup batter for each pancake
serve with plenty of butter and syrup (or, if you're lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's, try topping with their peach sauce!)
