This was my 11 year old's request for his birthday breakfast ?? This recipe was simple and delicious! I didn't have buttermilk so I substituted a tablespoon of lemon juice and a cup of milk (then let sit for 5 minutes) and for the remainder I used some plain kefir that I had in the fridge. I also generously oiled the pan. The pancakes were a huge hit!
