Scratch Pancakes

We had trouble converting from the Bisquick pancakes both for flavor and for simplicity. These are a little more complicated to put together, but they definitely don't lack flavor.

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, unbleached
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder (homemade: 2 parts cream of tartar, 1 part baking soda, 1 part potato or corn starch)
1 1/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
3 tbsp melted butter
3 tsp egg replacer + 4 tbsp water (or 2 eggs)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine dry ingredients. Pour buttermilk into microwave safe bowl and heat just til warm (about 15-20 seconds). Melt the butter. Combine buttermilk and melted butter. Mix up egg replacer and warm water, add vanilla and combine all wet ingredients. Combine dry and wet ingredients just until mixed. Heat griddle to about 325 degrees. Pour batter about ¼ cup at a time onto griddle and cook on both sides just until brown. Makes about a dozen pancakes depending on size.

I try to make extra when I have time. Then I freeze them with wax paper between them (to prevent sticking). When I need a quick breakfast, I pull them out and pop them in the toaster or microwave.
