Start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. This step ensures that your pancakes will be light and evenly textured.
Creating the Batter:
Add your melted butter and butter milk. This will temper the butter so the eggs wont cook. Add the eggs. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are perfectly normal and will cook out on the skillet, making perfect buttermilk pancakes.
Cooking the Pancakes:
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat, greasing it lightly with butter or avocado oil. Pour approximately ¼ to ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve your raw buttermilk pancakes warm, topped with butter and maple syrup. Alternatively, add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh fruit for a burst of flavor.
