These are delicious! Nice and light (and thin). Almost like a crepe, with the added "bite" of buttermilk. Made as written and the batter was just right for thin cakes. Served with real Canadian maple syrup.

We really enjoyed these thin, almost crepe-like pancakes. I did use part buttermilk and part regular milk, which might have made mine extra thin. But they were great with lots of maple syrup and then rolled up! I agree that these are best poured large into the pan, so you get a nice big pancake. Anything smaller and you are left with abstract shapes (such as the continental U.S., one of my earlier attempts!) Great pancake. Thank you!

These THIN buttermilk pancakes are probably the best I've ever had. I see all the substitutions with additional flour - if you are looking for traditional fluffy pancakes look for a different recipe, these are meant to be thin and there are outstanding 'fluffy' buttermilk recipes on this site. These are difficult to cook because the batter is thin so be sure to use a little less than you would normally on the griddle.. also don't overload the fruit or chips you add or the pancakes break when you attempt to flip them.

Very nice pancake. After reading the other reviews, I decided to add 1/2 cup more flour because the batter was very very thin and added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. After mixing in the extra flour in, I let the batter sit for about 10 minutes before making the pancakes and tht helped the batter thicken up some. All in all a nice buttermilk pancake. Thanks BK

The high ratio of buttermilk to flour make these super light. I used whole wheat pastry flour and added dried blueberries as the pancakes cooked. The recipe redues well to serve 2. These were served with warmed maple syrup.
