Pancakes<\/h4>\n<p>from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/193361501X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thepicapp-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=193361501X\">The America&#8217;s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1 large egg<\/li>\n<li>3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n<li>2 cups buttermilk\u00c2\u00a0 <em>(or add 1 tablespoon vinegar to 2 cups milk and let sit for a few minutes to thicken)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>1 to 2 teaspoons vegetable oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200 degrees F.\u00c2\u00a0 Set a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.\u00c2\u00a0 In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and then the buttermilk.\u00c2\u00a0 Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the buttermilk mixture, and whisk very gently until the buttermilk mixture is just incorporated (a few lumps should remain).\u00c2\u00a0 Be careful not to overmix the batter.<\/p>\n<p>Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Brush the pan bottom with 1 teaspoon oil.\u00c2\u00a0 Using 1\/4 cup of batter per pancake, add the batter to the skillet (only 2 to 3 pancakes will fit at a time) and cook until large bubbles begin to appear, about 2 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 1 1\/2 minutes longer.\u00c2\u00a0 Spread the pancakes out over the wire rack on the baking sheet (they shouldn&#8217;t overlap) and hold in the warm oven.\u00c2\u00a0 Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with oil needed between batches.<\/p>\n<p>To Make Ahead: If you have any leftover pancakes, let them cool to room temperature, then wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze.\u00c2\u00a0 They will keep for up to a week while still maintaining the majority of their original flavor and texture.\u00c2\u00a0 Defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then heat up a 350 degree oven until warm, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Whole Wheat Variation: Replace 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with 1 cup whole-wheat flour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\"
