1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda

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.

These were so light and fluffy. Some of the best I've ever made. I put home canned peaches over the top with homemade peach syrup. Totally delicious!,

My new favorite pancake recipe! I was skeptical at first because the batter is so dense and not nearly as runny as some other pancake batters I've made, but the resulting pancakes were the thickest, fluffiest I've ever made! This is a super simple recipe and it can be made very quickly. We'll be making these often!
