Buttermilk Pancakes

This morning marked the beginning of our holiday season. Our elf, Alfie, made his first appearance. We put up our Christmas tree. I set out our nativity scene. And I made homemade buttermilk pancakes. We love pancakes at my house. LOVE them. My daughter asks for them every weekend. This recipe makes pancakes that are a little thinner than your traditional fat, fluffy pancakes. They also have a slight tang from the buttermilk that makes them extra special. Just the way that we like them!

Buttermilk Pancakes
2 cups flour
1/8 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups regular milk
Mix all the ingredients together. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, warm up your griddle. I use an electric griddle at 350 degrees.

 Using a 1/3 measuring cup, pour the batter onto the griddle. I use slightly less than the full 1/3 cup.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side, or until the pancakes start to bubble and the edges start to look dry.

Flip over and cook for about 1-2 minutes longer.

Remove from the griddle and butter right away. Stack them on one top of the other so that the bottoms of the pancakes will soak up a little butter from the pancake underneath of it. 

 Isn't this the most delicious stack you've ever seen? So buttery. So thin. So tangy. And so yummy. Just add syrup!

I get about 2 dozen pancakes when I make this recipe. The leftovers freeze very well. Just wrap each pancake individually in a sandwich baggie, put them all in one big freezer baggie, and freeze. They warm up well in the microwave. In about 30 to 60 seconds you can enjoy the yummy goodness all over again.
