Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes

I am sure that most of you already have a favorite pancake recipe, but just in case you don't - I have a fabulous one! These make the most scrumptious melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that I have ever eaten, let alone made. Hands down. I actually just made them for dinner tonight. I tossed in fresh blueberries - delish! (Another favorite add in is corn, but they are superb on their own as well.) If you are still using those pancake mixes from the store, you must try this! It is almost as easy and tastes so much better!

Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes
3 C flour
3 T sugar
3 tsp bkg pwd
1 1/2 tsp bkg soda
3/4 tsp salt
3 C buttermilk (I usually use the powdered buttermilk, because it is easier to have on hand. Just follow the directions on the pkg.)
1/2 C milk (I use 2%)
1/3 C butter, melted
3 eggs

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, bkg pwd, soda & salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs & melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
When a lightly oiled griddle is ready on med heat, pour wet mixture into dry, using a wooden spoon or fork and blend. Stir until its just blended together. Do not over stir! Use 1/2 C for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Serves 12

Note: These make very large pancakes if you use the 1/2 C. I usually don't make mine that large. This recipe also makes a large amount of pancakes! I cook up all the batter and then place the extras in a zip lock bag in the fridge. Then for the remainder of the week we toast them in the toaster for breakfast. They warm up beautifully this way and still taste fresh!
