4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 large eggs, room temperature
4 cups buttermilk

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk until blended; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown.
Freeze option: Freeze cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper in a freezer container. To use, place pancakes on an ungreased baking sheet, cover with foil and reheat in a preheated 375° oven 6-10 minutes. Or place a stack of 3 pancakes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 45-90 seconds or until heated through.

Where has this recipe BEEN all my life? I’m pushing 70 and I have finally made a decent batch of pancakes. I cut the recipe down by 75% for the two of us. Since I never buy buttermilk, I added its powdered version to the dry ingredients and mixed water with the egg as the wet ingredients, as directed on the powder’s package. I foresee these pancakes being requested, which is a change from my husband suggesting a different breakfast!

Perfect! These are my go to pancakes. I do cut the recipe down so it does not make as much.

Delicious made as is but does make a very large batch. I also made a half batch, for 2 adults and 2 teens, and added 1 Tbsp vanilla and 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed for a very subtle nutty flavor (and health benefits). Turned out just as delicious as the original. I have also sifted the dry ingredients and put in a container for our vacation trips. No more store bought mixes required. This was very fast and easy and will be in our breakfast rotation often. We prefer fruit on top but adding blueberries to the batter would be good also. These are light and fluffy.

So easy to make. Light and fluffy! Great buttermilk taste! Added a little extra buttermilk to thin the batter.

Great recipe! It's got that classic buttermilk taste (duh!). The pancakes turned out with the perfect texture, a nice combination of firm and fluffy. I ended up adding just a little regular milk to thin out the batter a little after doing 1 test pancake. I set the griddle to 325 and made about 40 5" pancakes. They were devoured! This is a keeper recipe.

These were delicious. I halved the recipe, which is usually a mistake. Next time I will make the entire batch and freeze half for easy breakfast.
