Notes
This recipe includes a second set of ingredients. Both are recipes I have used for years, the amounts vary slightly, one recipe uses more buttermilk than the other. They are very similar in yield and final product.
If you do not have access to buttermilk, you can make a substitute using the following: Measure 1-2 tablespoon of lemon juice into a 1 cup measure. Fill the cup with milk and let stand on counter for 5 minutes. OR Mix 1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of milk to yield 1 cup of buttermilk substitute.
When using fruit, such as when making blueberries pancakes, smaller berries are better. Larger berries tend to be more difficult to cook evenly.
