Ronnie's Notes
I don’t celebrate Mardi Gras, a/k/a Fat Tuesday a/k/a Pancake Day.
But I DO celebrate pancakes, one of my favorite foods of all time.
Just like my Dad used to make.
Whatever you celebrate, if you love pancakes, they don’t get better than these:
Instructions
Melt the 3 tablespoons butter and set aside to cool.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
In a second bowl mix the egg, buttermilk and melted, cooled butter.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones and mix to blend them but do not beat vigorously.
Preheat a griddle or large saute pan over medium heat.
Lightly butter the pan before cooking the pancakes.
When the pan butter has melted and looks foamy, slowly pour about 2 tablespoons batter (for small pancakes) or more (for larger pancakes), leaving space between each pancake.
Cook for , or until bottom is lightly browned and bubbles form on the top.
Flip the pancakes with a rigid spatula and cook for a minute or until the second side is lightly browned.
