Ingredients

  • 4 cups flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 quart buttermilk
  • 1 stick butter (1/2 cup), melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat an electric grill to 400°F.
  2. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and then add buttermilk and melted butter; whisk until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour batter onto the preheated grill and cook until bubbles form on top.
  6. Turn pancakes and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with toppings of your choice.

Tips & Substitutions

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. You can substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. If you don't have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes. Make sure your grill is evenly heated to avoid uneven cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. They pair beautifully with Chocolate 'Frosty' Ice Cream for a decadent dessert twist. For a savory option, serve with a side of crispy bacon or scrambled eggs to create a delicious breakfast spread.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes with parchment paper between them and keep in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
