DENNY'S PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and eggs until combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and with the help of spatula stir until just barely incorporated. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes if you have the time.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot bring the heat down to low. Spread with butter or a bit of oil.
• Pour around 1/2 cup batter on the hot skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until small bubbles form on top. Flip the pancake and cook for 1 more minute or until golden. Repeat the process with the rest of the batter.

SECRET DENNY'S PANCAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well mixed.
• In another bowl whisk together the egg, oil, and buttermilk until blended.
• Add the egg mixture to the dry mixture and whisk until combined and no flour streaks remain. Do not over mix. The batter will be lumpy and thick.
• Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes while you preheat a skillet to medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
• Scoop the batter (about a ¼ cup) and pour onto the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side or until both sides are golden in color.

EVERYDAY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients. Beat eggs into 1 1/2 cups milk, then stir in 2 tablespoons melted cooled butter, if using it. Gently stir this mixture into dry ingredients, mixing only enough to moisten flour; don't worry about a few lumps. If batter seems thick, add a little more milk.
• Place a teaspoon or 2 of butter or oil on griddle or skillet. When butter foam subsides or oil shimmers, ladle batter onto griddle or skillet, making pancakes of any size you like. Adjust heat as necessary; usually, first batch will require higher heat than subsequent batches. Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after 2 to 4 minutes.
• Cook until second side is lightly browned. Serve, or hold on an ovenproof plate in a 200-degree oven for up to 15 minutes.
