Cracker Barrel Pancakes Copycat


Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour measured with spoon, not sifted
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/3 cups low fat buttermilk (if you use regular milk, make it 1.75 - 2 cups)
  • butter for cooking

Instructions

  • Preheat a pancake griddle to 350. Peel the paper off of one end of a stick of butter and set on a plate next to the griddle for greasing.
  • Whisk eggs and buttermilk together in a medium bowl. Add flour*, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk just until combined.
  • Rub butter in a circle on the griddle and drop 1/2 cup of batter into the butter spot. I like to use a large ice cream scoop for this. As soon as the batter hits the griddle, level it out and smooth it quickly into a circle with the back of the ice cream scoop.
  • The pancakes should be flipped when the 2nd bubble pops. This will take about two minutes on most griddles. Flip the pancake and cook on the second side until no longer doughy.
  • Every time you put new batter on the griddle you need to butter it again.
  • Pancakes should be served piping hot off the griddle. Stacking them up or holding them in an oven can cause them to lose the crunchy outside and / or become tough.
