          Instructions

          • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a commercial mixer. Using a paddle attachment, mix on low speed for 1 minute. Leave dry ingredients in mixer.
          • Whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl.
          • Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. (The mixture will be thick, do not add more buttermilk.)
          • Heat griddle or a tilt skillet to medium-high heat and spray with a pan release spray.
          • Use a No.16 scoop to portion 2 ounces of batter onto the hot griddle, making 4 ½ inch pancakes.
          • Cook pancakes until edges are set, and bubbles develop on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
          • Use a wide spatula and flip pancakes. Continue to cook until the second side is golden, about 1-2 minutes. Do not pat pancakes.
            Critical Control Point:
            Heat to 165 °F or higher for 15 seconds.
          • Transfer pancakes to a pan for hot holding.
            Critical Control Point:
            Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
          • Hold until service. Serve 1 pancake.
