--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2               cups  all-purpose flour
   4        tablespoons  sugar
   2          teaspoons  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  salt
   2                     eggs -- beaten

   4        tablespoons  butter -- browned

Most people enjoy their pancakes drenched in syrup and soaked in 
butter. That's because plain pancakes are pretty... plain. But they 
don't have to be, and the solution is brown butter. You already know 
how easy it is to make brown butter. The Maillard reaction, a.k.a. 
browning, is what makes brown butter taste so nuanced. At its 
simplest, the Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between a 
reducing sugar and an amino acid. The Maillard reaction is 
responsible for many tasty culinary delights, from the grill marks on 
your ribeye to the golden sheen on a fresh-baked brioche and golden 
brown pancakes.Brown butter blows the already great taste of butter 
out of the park. When you brown butter, you're not browning the 
butter as a whole, only the milk solids. As you brown, the milk 
solids break down into smaller, tastier molecules that vary in flavor 
from toasty, nutty, sweet, floral, and butterscotchy. The smell alone 
is intoxicating and worth making this recipe for. While it takes good 
timing to not burn the butter, it's a pretty simple step in this 
straightforward recipe.

Brown your butter: In a small pot over medium heat, cook the butter 
until it starts to foam and smell toasty. Looks for the visual cues 
of the milk solids turning a golden brown. Pour into a small bowl off the heat.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Mix buttermilk, eggs, and browned butter together.

Fold the dry into the wet. Don't over-beat the batter; some lumps are OK.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium/low heat for a few minutes. Add a one 
tablespoon of butter or neutral oil. Ladle in about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of 
the pancake batter. Let cook for a minute or two. Flip when you see 
air bubbles rise to the surface. It should be golden brown on the 
bottom. Cook on the other side until brown.

Stack cooked pancakes and douse in maple syrup and butter, and enjoy!
