Notes
Do not reduce olive oil. It not only enhances the flavor but also aids in creating a thin, crisp crust on the pizza pancakes.
Do not add more than ¼ cup of total add-ins.
If you are out of buttermilk, then here is a really good method to make your own in a pinch – Mix 1 cup milk and 3 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it stand for about 10 minutes. Stir before using and measure 1 cup for the recipe.
