Ingredients

2 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 to 1-2/3 cups buttermilk
6 Tablespoons melted butter or Crisco Oil
3 eggs

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients.
Stir with a wire whisk to mix, just until ingredients are blended, scraping sides and bottom of bowl to get everything incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix. Batter will be thick.
Let batter sit in bowl for 1 hour to rise.
Do not stir batter at all during this time.
Do not stir the batter when you are frying the cakes.
Just use a large ladle to scoop out batter. Fry on a hot griddle or frying pan.

Notes

This recipe makes 10-12 cakes.

If you like a thinner cake, you may add a little more buttermilk when you initially mix the batter, before you let it rise, rather than stirring the batter later.
