Gravity-defying basic buttermilk pancakes
Pancakes
American cuisine
This recipe's list of ingredients has been in our family since I can remember, but it was my sister's adept handling of the mixtures that brought these babies, quite literally, to new heights. Every time she made the batter, the pancakes came out so tall they would not have looked out of place at an NBA draft. Every time I tried, things didn't go so well, and pancake festivals ended up looking more like pancrêpe festivals. I was forced to admit that not all pan-fried carbohydrates are created equal, I handed over my spatula. <br /> <br />However, once we siblings scattered across the globe, my cravings for perfectly thick and fluffy pancakes did not wane. So when my sister decided to come visit me here in Paris, I told her she could stay with me so long as she arrived with baking powder and maple syrup in tow. I wanted to do a thorough step by step analysis of the pancake-making process. A few bags of flour and jugs of lait ribot later, here are the very, but not overly, detailed secrets of her genius.
