Method
 

For the buttermilk
  1. Combine 2 cups of whole milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and set aside for 10 minutes to make buttermilk
For the pancakes
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  Pour the dry ingredients into a blender or food processor
  2. In a bowl whisk together 2 large eggs and the 2 cups of buttermilk until combined.  Pour the wet ingredients into the blender with the dry ingredients.  Blend for around 30-40 seconds then use a rubber spatula to ensure the dry ingredients are being incorporated properly with the wet
  3. Refrigerate the batter and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes
  4. Heat up a griddle or pan, you can use butter or cooking spray to coat the surface.  Using a  small measuring cup for a ladle, pour even amounts of batter equal distances apart to allow them to spread out
  5. Wait until you have some nice bubbles on the back end of the pancake before flipping.  It is also ok to sneak a little peek under a corner to check how brown they are, then flip.  Serve with your favorite breakfast toppings and sides
