Bruce Paltrow’s World Famous Pancakes
Originally taken from the Joy of Cooking, Bruce really made these his own, adapting them over the years to utter perfection.
1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter and eggs together in another bowl.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones whisking just enough to combine (small lumps are okay). Let the batter sit, covered, overnight.
4. The next morning, heat up your griddle or favorite nonstick pan and slick it with a little butter.
5. Add enough milk to the batter to thin it to the right consistency—the thicker the batter, the thicker and heavier your pancakes; the thinner the batter, the more delicate your pancakes—neither is wrong.
6. Cook the pancakes on the griddle, flipping them after bubbles appear on the surface of the uncooked side.
7. Let cook 2-3 minutes more, then remove, and eat with lots of warm maple syrup.
