Buttermilk Pancakes

Making pancakes from scratch might require a bit more effort, but they're worth it!

2 cups flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk
⅓ cup milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup butter or margarine, melted

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.  Whisk until blended.  Combine buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter in a medium bowl.  Whisk until blended.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  When griddle is hot, add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients, then stir batter just until blended.

Reduce heat to medium and grease griddle with butter, oil or shortening.  Using ladle or ⅓ cup dry measure, pour spoonfuls of batter onto prepared griddle.  Cook until bubbles for on top 2 to 3 minutes.  Turn pancakes with a spatula.  Cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until browned.
