The recipe is stupid, but seriously worth it. I spent the pandemic force feeding my roommates pancakes twice a week until it was perfect.

You can use whatever Buttermilk you have, but combining the thick Bulgarian with the thinner normal tasted best to the 8 of us.

You want as little time as possible between mixing and applying heat. 70% of baking soda’s lift is in the first 3 minutes. The double acting baking powder has an additional acid that’s heat activated, so there will be additional lift before the pancake sets.

Wet ingredients

· 240 g Bulgarian buttermilk (1 cup) · 240 g buttermilk (1 cup) · 13 g vanilla (1 Tbsp) · 85 g heated honey (¼ cup) {I microwave the glass jar 30 seconds at a time until it’s easy to pour} · 60 g apple cider vinegar (¼ cup) · 100 g eggs (2 large eggs)

Dry ingredients

· 240 g flour (2 cups) {protein % doesn’t seem to noticeably change anything} · 14 g double acting baking powder (1 Tbsp) · 7 g baking soda (½ Tbsp) · 2.5 g cinnamon (1 tsp) · 2 g allspice (1 tsp) · 2 g cardamom (1 tsp) · 1 g cloves (½ tsp) · 2 g nutmeg (1 tsp)

Method

1. Preheat your griddle to medium-high.
2. Do not combine wet and dry ingredients until the griddle is hot.
3. Mix dry into wet until you don’t see any dry ingredients.
4. Immediately spoon or pour onto the hot griddle.
5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.
6. Cook until golden brown on the second side.
