Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
• To make vegan pancakes, use plant-based milk and butter, and replace the eggs with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water).
