pinch, you can substitute yogurt I mi1 the dry ingredients in a big bowl , melt the butter in a little ramekin in the

microwave, beat an egg into the buttermilk and mi1 it all together5%ust barely6inker said that shes &horrible' at pancakes7 &7even when I mi1 them fromthe bo1 3oo dense, under cooked, burnt78ever 9ight and fluffy ' 3his is wherethe &%ust barely' mi1ing comes in2 you want small to medium-si:ed lumps in the
