Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet cast iron recommended
  • 2 large bowls
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 whisk or egg beater
  • 1 spatula
  • paper towel

Ingredients
  

Dry mix:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt or 0.5 tbsp table salt
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda

Wet mix:

  • 2 eggs separated
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1.75 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup optional fruit eg. banana cut into 1/4" cubes

Instructions
 

  • Sift together all ingredients for the dry mix in a large bowl
  • Heat butter in skillet until just melted and let it cool in the pan
  • Separate eggs, putting whites in a large, mixing-friendly bowl, and yolks in a small bowl
  • Pour cooled melted butter on to yolks and whisk until combined
  • Use egg beater to whisk egg whites to stiff peaks
  • Whisk buttermilk and whites until combined
  • Whisk two eggs together until combined to finish the wet mix
  • Pour wet mix on to dry. Whisk together gently for only 15 secs, streaks (not clumps) of dry flour are ok
  • Add fruit or chocolate chips if desired. Batter should appear thick. Let rest 3-5 mins while pan heats (bubbles should appear)
  • Wipe residual butter from pan with paper towel and reserve on a plate. Add a bit of vegetable oil and wipe off with same paper towel. Preheat pan to smoking hot
  • Start with one pancake (about 2 tbsp of batter). The batter is thick so you can spread it into a circle that's about 1/2" thick. Flip when edge changes color and bubbles form on top. Cook another 1-2 minutes, and reserve on plate. Taste to confirm it is cooked through and adjust cook time if needed
  • Cook remaining pancakes (2 or 3 at a time), wiping cook surface with the buttery paper towel after each one. Reserve pancakes in a stack covered with aluminum foil or in a warm oven until ready to eat
  • Serve pancakes doused in maple syrup with a pat of butter on top
