Now, here's where things get really interesting: Jamie's secret ingredient is buttermilk. Yep, that tangy, creamy stuff that's like liquid gold for your pancakes. And, let me tell you, it makes all the difference - it's like a party in your mouth and everyone's invited (except for the boring old pancakes without buttermilk, of course)!
So, you whisk together your dry ingredients, then add in your wet ingredients, including that magical buttermilk. And, then, you let the batter rest for a bit, like it's taking a little siesta to let all the flavors get along. Jamie says this is the most important part, and I'm inclined to agree, since my pancakes turned out, well, let's just say not too shabby!
Now, it's time to heat up your skillet or griddle and get ready for the main event. Jamie recommends using a non-stick pan, unless you want to end up with a sticky situation on your hands (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). And, don't overfill the pan, or you'll end up with a pancake tower that's more like a pancake collapse!
