1/2 tsp salt

In a separate bowl, combine:

*************************

I’ve been making/tweaking this recipe for five or six years now. It’s a family favorite!

My modifications:

~ I use all wheat flour {I sometimes have to add extra buttermilk because of this.}
~ I substitute extra-virgin olive oil for vegetable oil and increase it to 2 tablespoons.
~ I add in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
~ And I like to add a sprinkling of toasted wheat germ onto of each pancake while cooking.
