| For the Mix: Combine all of the ingredients in a lidded container. Shake to mix. Use the mix within 3 months. (Makes mix for 3 batches of pancakes) |
| For the Pancakes: Heat an electric griddle or frying pan to 350 degrees. Heat oven to 200 degrees. |
| Whisk together the egg whites and the buttermilk in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the melted butter . |
| Combine the buttermilk mixture with the egg yolk mixture in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Pour the liquid ingredients on top of the pancake mix. Using a whisk, mix the batter just enough to bring it together. Don't try to work all the lumps out. |
| Check to see that the griddle is hot by placing a few drops of water onto to the griddle. The griddle is ready if the water dances across the surface. |
| Lightly butter the griddle. Wipe off thoroughly with a paper towel. (No butter should be visible.) |
| Gently ladle the pancake batter onto the griddle and sprinkle on fruit if desired. When bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancake and the griddle-side of the cake is golden, gently flip the pancakes. Continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancake is set. |
| Serve immediately or remove to a towel-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel. Hold in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes. |
| This recipe yields 12 pancakes. |
