Basic Mix

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt (don't use table salt which has iodine - kosher salt has a much cleaner taste - look for it in the Kosher food section next to the matzo!)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda (check the expiration date or they won't rise!)

You can make as much of this as you want and can store it for up to 3 months! When you're ready to make some, for every TWO(2) cups of mix-

2 eggs
4 tbsp of butter (1/2 a stick) - real butter, not margarine or butter substitute
2 cups of buttermilk – regular, don't use reduced fat!

-Put the dry mix in a large mixing bowl.
-Melt the butter (in a big microwave safe bowl)
-Add the eggs. Mix like crazy.
-Add the buttermilk – Mix like crazy some more.
-Add the WET into the bowl of DRY and whisk for only about 10-12 SECONDS, and gently fold in any remaining dry spots. It's gonna be lumpy like Shordshin’s face, but they'll cook out. If you mix too much too much gluten will form and the pancakes will be tough and rubbery, not light and fluffy!

Fire up the electric griddle or frying pan (350 degrees) and ladle the batter on as big as you like. It's a good idea to "shake" the pan so the batter spreads/cooks evenly. When you see bubbles forming on top, flip em over - watch your heat or they’ll burn and taste like crap! Otherwise enjoy your light and fluffy pancakes that the chicks will dig too!
