Special Precautions and Tips:

• If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough pancakes.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more buttermilk. If it's too thin, add a little more flour.
• Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
