Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs and sugar well in a bowl.
- Pour in buttermilk and beat until combined.
- Add self-rising flour to achieve desired consistency.
- Heat griddle or skillet to the correct temperature.
- Fry pancakes until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve hot with butter and syrup.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, separate the egg yolks and whites, beating the whites to soft peaks before folding them into the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder (1 cup flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder). Adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference, especially if serving with syrup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious pancakes hot off the griddle with a generous pat of butter and real maple syrup. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a side of Vegetable Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a delightful twist, consider serving them alongside Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs for a unique brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster for a few minutes or warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through. For longer storage, freeze them between layers of parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, but for a similar tangy flavor, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 quart of milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to curdle before using in the recipe.
How can I make these pancakes healthier?
To make these pancakes healthier, consider using whole wheat self-rising flour or adding oats to the batter. You can also reduce the sugar and serve with fresh fruit instead of syrup for natural sweetness.
What toppings work well with Ginny's Pancakes?
In addition to butter and syrup, you can experiment with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. For a savory option, try adding a dollop of Greek yogurt and sliced bananas for a delicious twist.
