Classic Buttery Pancakes
Ingredients
- 3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (Optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (Optional)
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves (Optional)

- 2 eggs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- coconut oil for skillet (may also use butter or olive oil)
Instructions
Directions:
- Mix together almond milk and vinegar and set aside. (This may sound weird but you are basically making a buttermilk substitute with this. Makes the pancakes light and fluffy!).
- In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium sized mixing bowl whisk together all wet ingredients.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly add wet ingredients whisking as you go. Try to add in flour from sides slowly as you whisk batter together to avoid lumps. (Do not over mix)
- Heat stove-top flat top grill or non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.
- Once heated add coconut oil to grease and start cooking away. Pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form in the center of the pancake and sides begin to form, then flip. Once flipped cook an additional 30 seconds - 1 minutes and check for doneness. Once all your pancakes are cooked enjoy!
- Batter will stay good in fridge up to 3 days. Pancakes can also be cooked and frozen for some homemade pancake breakfasts when your in a rush.

Fat in butter gives your pancakes a rich moist texture similar to a cake. Hence pancakes. But using butter will give you a richer more delicious flavor.
Technically no. Adding vinegar to your milk creates a milk with a similar makeup to buttermilk giving you a fluffy buttery delicious pancake!
The batter in this recipe will come out very thick. You will spread the batter out on the skillet a bit thick. If its way more then you prefer add in milk (does not have to be the buttermilk version) until you are satisfied with the consistency.

Eggs act as a binding agent in baking. They also provide some natural fat which adds a rich flavor to your pancakes.
There are two simple reasons for this. One, the pan needs to heat up properly across the whole surface and two there is not yet an even distribution of oils across the surface.
Pancakes remind me of vanilla cake, only better! Adding in some tartness of fresh fruit or berries will give you a refreshing luxurious breakfast for any occasion.
