Instructions

  1. Gently warm buttermilk with butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted, ensuring it does not boil.

  2. Gradually add the buttermilk-butter mixture to flour in a bowl and beat well to create a thick batter, then let it stand for 30 minutes to two hours.

  3. Stir sugar, baking soda, salt, and vinegar into beaten eggs.

  4. Incorporate the egg mixture into the rested batter, beating thoroughly until smooth.

  5. Heavily grease and heat a griddle or heavy-based frying pan until hot but not smoking.

  6. Drop generous tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle, cooking each pancake for a few minutes per side until golden brown.

  7. Wrap cooked pancakes in a thick tea towel to keep warm while continuing with the remaining batter.
