Directions

1. Mix Batter: Emulsify oil, eggs, and buttermilk, then add to the pancake mix.
2. Fold & Rest: Gently fold no more than 12 strokes with a rubber spatula. Let batter rest while griddle heats to 350°F.

Chef's Notes

• To make buttermilk, add 1 tbs vinegar to enough milk to make 1 cup. This doubles easily for larger quantities.
• This Alton Brown recipe is an alternative to the basic pancake recipe that uses a pre-made dry mix, making prep faster and simpler at cooking time
