Bursting with berries, these pancakes really satisfy whether you are making them for a weekend breakfast or a weeknight breakfast for dinner. These pancakes use a variety of pantry staples, adding in buttermilk for that wonderful tangy, buttery flavor that only buttermilk can bring to the table. The whipped egg whites lighten the batter and makes the finished pancakes fluffy. To keep the pancakes warm while you make the rest of them, place a cooling rack on a large baking sheet, and sit it in a preheated 225°F oven. Add the pancakes to the cooling rack as you finish them. These pancakes reheat well, so you can freeze extras or double the recipe to have more on hand for another week.
