OK Wordies,
a friend of mine wants a recipe for the "Original Pancakes", whatever it means.
It's up to you now.

Makes nine 6-inch pancakes
(the trick to light and fluffy pancakes is not to over mix the batter)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 teaspoon for griddle (cast iron griddle or pan is best)
Directions
Heat griddle to 375 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add eggs, buttermilk, and 4 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
Heat oven to 175 degrees (to keep pancakes warm as you finish cooking all of them). Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Drop 1/2 teaspoon of butter or onto the griddle & coat surface.
Using a ladle, about 1/2 cup, pour pancake batter, in pools 2 inches away from one other. When pancakes bubble on top and are slightly dry around edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on a heatproof plate in oven. Serve warm with maple syrup.

How much can you under mix the batter and still perform this trick of the light and fluffy?

Lovely, Pro. Pancakes don't count as cake, do they?

They surely don't count as bundt cake. I think (I hope!) I can have cake more than once as long as it is something strikingly different each time (crostata, flourless, apple pie, tiramisù, bábovka...).

I think you have to avoid "cake" in the name. You should call today's breakfast "flapjacks".

Nice idea!

I suppose that means "cupcakes" are out, too (unless you call them you-know-whats).
