FAQ’s about Cracker Barrel Pancakes
Like mentioned above, the buttermilk is the powerhouse of this recipe in terms of flavor! So if you don’t have any, check out the Food Networks recipe for buttermilk that you can make from home with ingredients you have in your fridge or pantry.
Often the consistency of your batter will determine how fluffy your pancakes will be. If they are too liquidy, running off a spoon, then you will end up with flat pancakes.
You can also check your baking powder to see if it is expired or old. Fresh baking powder will give you the best results.
If you would like to freeze your extra pancakes, once they are cooled down, stick pieces of wax paper between pancakes and place in a gallon-sized bag or other freezer container.
To reheat, place a stack of 3 pancakes on a plate and microwave until they are heated through (about 45-90 seconds).

How many does this make ??
Can you half the recipe ??
It serves 10, but you can make the pancakes any size you want. You can easily cut this recipe in half.
The Cracker Barrel puts cornmeal in their pancakes though. I’m not sure how to figure that in.
