- Make sure to use fresh buttermilk for the best results.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Substitute the egg with a flax egg, which is a combination of 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 3 tablespoons of water. This substitution will make the pancakes vegan and healthier, as flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Substitute the buttermilk with almond milk. This substitution will make the pancakes dairy-free, as almond milk is lactose-free.
Cinnamon and Sugar Pancakes Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Cook as directed.
