I would like to suggest a few improvements. Over mixing the batter not only develops excessive glutens (chewy pancakes) it also accelerates the development and loss of CO2 bubbles. All of the gas you allow to escape in stirring/mixing could have made your pancakes fluffy and light. It is much better to use a spoon and beat the mix about 10 strokes, or just to the point where it is blended but lumps remain. Due to Fick’s law of diffusion, your flour lumps will “dissolve” if your batter is viscous and heat is applied. Timing is critical. When using baking soda/buttermilk to produce CO2 your batter needs to sit for a minute or so until you see good bubble development.

I LOVE your site! I found you via another great site like yours called @www.domesticsquarepeg.com and this was JUST the information I was looking for– how to freeze pancakes. By the way, your two sites complement each other well!

Thanks for all your great information!

I was looking for a good Buttermilk Pancake receipt – my mother told me that she used to make it a lot when I was a child but she has forgotten how to do it. Gone try this tomorrow and see how it will taste.

What if my wife and I ran out for errands and forgot to put our pancake batter back in the fridge??? We came back 6 hours later, and put in the fridge. Would we be dumb to prepare more pancakes with the leftover batter?
