How To Make Cracker Barrel Pancakes
1. Mix the wet ingredients: Preheat a pancake griddle or a non-stick skillet to 350°F. While it heats, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together in a medium bowl.
2. Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and sugar to the bowl with the buttermilk mixture. Give everything a mix until it just combines into a pancake batter.
3. Cook the pancakes. Grease the hot griddle or skillet with butter. Drop ½ cup of batter onto it and level it out with the back of a spoon. Let the pancakes cook for 2-4 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
4. Serve. Serve the Cracker Barrel buttermilk pancakes warm, with strawberries or any other fruit and homemade syrup on top. Enjoy!
