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.

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.
