Notes
Buttermilk-Just add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice per 1 cup of milk. Let it set for 10 minutes, stir and you have a great substitute for buttermilk.Don't overmix the batter, minimal strokes here.Don't press down on your pancakes after you flip them, they will become denser instead of airy.Do not double flip your pancakes.
