Notes
*To make your own buttermilk, mix 1 TBS Vinegar with 1 cup milk. Let sit for 10 minutes. It should be thick, kind of chunky when it's ready.
**Your batter is ready when it's thick. If it is too runny, add more self-rising flour 1/4-cup at a time. Or let it sit on the counter for a few minutes. The self-rising flour will thicken as it sits.
These pancakes freeze well. Wrap in parchment paper and put one or two in a quart-sized plastic bag. When you are ready to eat, take them out of the freezer, place on a plate and microwave for 30-45 seconds.
