Ingredients

4 eggs
3 cups buttermilk or clabber
¼ cup oil or melted butter
3 cups all-purpose flour or soft white wheat flour*
¼ cup sugar
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Mix wet and dry ingredients in their own bowls, then combine. Whisk only until combined - some lumps are ok!
Use two cast iron pans on the stove or fire up the Blackstone griddle.
Use butter or oil between batches to keep pancakes from sticking. Watch the heat so they don't burn.
Use ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Flip only once, as soon as bubbles appear and then disappear.

Notes

*If using JUST ground flour, pack the flour a bit in the measuring cup as it's very fluffy compared to flour that's been stored.
On my 36" inch Blackstone I can make the entire batch at once!
Makes about 28 pancakes when measuring ¼ cup batter each.
