Pancake Lovers : This is fantastic
 

This recipe is from Southern Living November 2015 magazine.

The pancakes are absolutely delicious, my DH cooks them to perfection and I will share this recipe from the magazine word for word. I follow it exactly and our pancakes are melt in your mouth delicious.

Pancakes:

1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of salt

Mix these in a bowl together, sift if you want.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and then add two cups of buttermilk (I use real buttermilk)

Gradually add to the flour mixture, then melt 1/4 cup of butter and gently add into the flour/buttermilk mixture. Batter will be lumpy. LET BATTER STAND 5 MINUTES.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto hot buttered griddle and cook 3-4 minutes until tops are bubbles and edges are dry. Turn and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Place pancakes in a warm oven 200 degrees for up to 50 minutes.

I love pancakes so will give these a go. Thanks.

I make these also. They are wonderful. I do however, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

Sprinkle with some fresh blueberries on the first side, or add some cinnamon sugar and grated apple, or some crumbled bacon. Pancakes are a blank canvas just waiting to be made delicious by adding some little surprise! I also like to make old fashioned sugar syrup with vanilla to put on them. We always have a variety of home made jellies and jams, such as corncob jelly, green tomato jam, monkey jam etc. Love the unexpected flavors.

It's the buttermilk that stops me. I will not drink it! So I hate to buy it just for a recipe then throw the rest out......

Thanks, will give them a try.

I also hate buttermilk and will not drink it. I buy a quart and then have pancakes for 4 mornings for my husband and I. These pancakes are just so good if...you love pancakes and I do.

You can add lemon or vinegar to plain milk and make a substitute buttermilk, no need to throw any away.

I always add coconut oil to my pancakes but plan to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Regarding buttermilk. I used to have a can of powdered buttermilk and would mix up just what I needed for a recipe. Don't have any now. Hope it is still on the market.

yes Suz, its still on the market , near the powdered milk section or in the baking isle.

Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'll be trying it soon! :)

For those of you that don't like buttermilk, but want to put it into a recipe like pancakes, you can freeze buttermilk in little baggies in the amount you need for the recipe. I'm not a fan of buttermilk either, but some recipes are just way better with it. I know that you can make buttermilk with lemon/vinegar and milk, but it just isn't the same. So I freeze my buttermilk and have it on hand whenever I need it.

I use the powdered buttermilk and sift it into the dry ingredients. they add water for the amt of liquid needed. do this for Kringla also works great.

This is a excellent idea and one that I will use. Thankyou!

This is the recipe I use and I've never tasted better.

I add 1 cup of cooked oatmeal to this recipe, it gives it a better flavor. My family likes it.

You can add a tsp. of cider vinegar to a cup of milk for the buttermilk. That way you don't have to buy the real thing.

I always add white vinegar or lemon juice to milk. Since I never use real buttermilk, I don't know the difference.
I use to make all foods from scratch when the kids were home. For the two of us I found a cheap brand of pancake mix and we add blueberries. We both still work full time. May go back when we retire.

That's something new...never knew that there was powdered buttermilk. Love learning about quilting, patterns and cooking!

To save time put all your dry ingredients-plus the powdered buttermilk & prep 4 batches of dry mix & put in frig. Then when I need it I can beat the eggs & add the water, measure out a batch of dry mix....saves time & only 1 dry mix mess to clean up

I buy the one pint size of buttermilk when I can find it, and don't have to waste. Can sometimes find it at Walmart or Albertsons, but have had to buy the quart a few times. When that happens, I make buttermilk cornbread!

I will have to make a dry mix and divide it in half for this widow to use. Made the full recipe this morning and boy would my spouse be happy to eat from the mile high pile of cakes. I got 12 cakes, put sets of 2 in the freezer and a few for this week. I used a GF flour mix and added about 1/2 cup buckwheat flour to hold it together better.

Will put in place of my older recipe. Thank you for posting.

I will have to try this, love the idea of premixing and having on hand to save time. Funny story on pancakes, I had an Irish Setter who loved pancakes. He would sit by the stove when I was cooking them waiting for his and yes I cooked some just for him. So whenever I make pancakes I think of Rusty sitting so patiently waiting for his. I have had 6 other Setters and 6 mutts and none of them has ever been so in love with pancakes.

I make the dry mix and keep in pantry. I add the eggs, milk, and butter when needed. If you double or triple the dry part make each batch separately then combine. I use the dry mix to dredge chicken, okra, squash, etc for frying.

These sound good. I too do not like the taste of buttermilk for drinking but use it in salad dressings and sodabread.

thank you for the tip on powered butter milk, did not know about that

oh wow, thank you for sharing, i will try this

I make these once in a while too! Sometimes when I am in the mood for a fall treat, I add a tiny bit of cinnamon to the batter cook and then pour sweetened condensed milk over them (instead of syrup) and a dollop of heated peach jam. Oh my it is so good! You can also use fresh cut fruit such as strawberries instead of the jam.

Girls, you cannot taste the buttermilk in the pancakes! It is used as a protein enrichment and leavening agent.

Is it required to put the pancakes in the oven ? Or is this to make sure they stay warm until you get everything else done? Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on powered buttermilk!!!!! Never thought that was available....and I checked, it's also at my local Walmart...so onto my grocery list it goes, and I don't have to bypass any buttermilk recipes anymore!

It will keep in frig,for a long time infact they say older is better but add a little more soda.
