Preparation
Step 1
Whisk together the first 6 ingredients (buttermilk, water, eggs, salt, sugar and yeast).
Step 2
Add the flour one cup at a time until it is the texture of cake batter. There should not be lumps of flour.
Step 3
Place the batter in a warm place to rise. We use the oven. Warm your oven and then turn it off so it’s just about 90˚F in there. Not too warm. Pour the batter in an oven proof bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Let it sit in a warm oven for 1 hour. It will about double in volume. You can put it outside in summer.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat 3-4 Tbsp of oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Place heaping tablespoons of dough onto the skillet and sauté until golden brown, then turn over. You can get better shaped pancakes if you use a wet tablespoon to put the dough in the skillet and scrape it off with a teaspoon.
Step 6
Continue to oil your skillet in between each batch. They turn out nicer on a well-oiled skillet.
Step 7
