Buttermilk Pancakes

I always thought I made the best buttermilk pancakes!
Topped with real butter and my homemade syrup, they
just couldn't be beat! Or so I thought, until I saw Catalina's recipe!
And now I'm naming her buttermilk pancakes as the best ever!
The ingredients were almost the same but the proportions were
different. I especially liked the way they didn't act like sponges
and soak up all of the syrup. They were thick and fluffy. Yum.
Buttermilk Pancakes
4 c flour
4 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1/2 cup and 1 T sugar
1 t salt
4 eggs
4 c buttermilk
1 stick melted butter
2 t vanilla
******
Whisk dry ingredients and wet ingredients in 2 separate bowls.
Then whisk together. Batter will be lumpy.
Proceed on lightly buttered griddle as with any pancakes.
I set mine on 350 degrees. Let get dark golden brown and
dry around the edges before flipping.
Top with butter and syrup. I also tried another hint from Rhonda who said that she makes a big
batch and freezes her pancakes. Catalina's recipe makes 21 large
pancakes (about 5" across) So I made the whole batch and froze
half of them. Thanks, ladies! Sunday brunch will be super easy
and fast this weekend!

  1. *sigh* I remember my childhood, when I used to cover my pancakes with maple syrup! I would have loved a pancake that let the syrup soak in! Oh, well, can't get away with that now...

  8. Hey go for it
    I won't have a fit
    It be really funny watching you try and shoot a chicken nugget into a net
    I'd even make a bet
    That you might hit the pole
    And prob will score maybe one goal

  18. Is it breakfast time already? Pancakes were a favorite childhood breakfast and there was always plenty of real maple syrup from Dad's great uncles. No one ever told us not to use "too much."

  21. Zuzana ~ I always forget your traditional breakfast is a sandwich like we would have for lunch! I have a nephew that lives in Estonia and that's what they eat, too. Probably healthier than our american stuff. ha.

  32. I'm so happy you like the pancakes! They look beautiful and I love how you piled up so huge lot of them, it looks great! I usually scale down the recipe to make lower amount of them when I'm alone or so because I had no idea I could freeze them. Thank you for the tip, I gonna do this next time :) Btw, your homemade syrup sounds so good!
