Notes
Note 1 - Weighing the pancake/waffle mix is the most accurate way of making sure you get perfect results. If you do use a cup to measure the mix, make sure to spoon the pancake mix into the measuring cup, until you over-fill the measuring cup. Scrape off the excess pancake mix with the flat side of a knife to level (see recipe video in the post).Note 2 - If you prefer to separate the eggs for this recipe, make sure to add the egg yolks along with the buttermilk and butter. Then you will need to add about 2 tbsp of extra water per batch to the batter, to compensate for the egg whites. Whisk the egg whites until you have soft fluffy peaks. Mix in ⅓ of the egg whites into the batter. Followed by just FOLDING IN the remaining ⅔ of the egg whites. DO NOT OVER-MIX. Some clumps of egg whites are preferred.
