CINNAMON PANCAKE RECIPE FROM SCRATCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt three tablespoons of butter, and then set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt together until well blended.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups of the buttermilk and eggs together.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, and then pour in the buttermilk and egg mixture. Stir a few times, and then add the melted butter. Use a whisk or fork to stir until you no longer see clumps of flour. It is okay if the batter has small lumps – it is important not to over-mix the batter.
• When you lift the whisk or fork out from the batter, it should slowly run down back into the bowl. If this does not happen and the batter is too thick, add additional buttermilk.
• Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat. The pan is ready if when you splatter a little water onto the pan surface, the water dances around the pan and eventually evaporates.
• Lightly brush the skillet with melted butter. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to spoon batter onto skillet. Gently spread the batter into a 5-inch circle.
• When the edges look dry, and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancake, turn over. This takes 1 to 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook another 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve immediately with warm syrup, butter, and berries.
• For larger batches of pancakes, before cooking the pancakes, heat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat inside. As the pancakes cook, carefully place them onto the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.
• Buttermilk pancakes freeze well. Place the cooked pancakes onto a parchment lined baking sheet and slide into the freezer. Freeze until frozen, about 1 hour. When the pancakes are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
• Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes.
• Cook until second side is lightly browned. Serve, or hold on an ovenproof plate in a 200-degree oven for up to 15 minutes.
