Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pancakes

Great tasting buttermilk pancakes

 Buttermilk is a leftover product

after churning milk into butter.

It is high in calcium, and B12,

 also low in fat.

Pancakes can be frozen and 

reheated  straight from the freezer, 

in the toaster or in the microwave.

 

Fruit can be cooked 

into the pancake mix, 

However, I prefer natural pancakes and 

 add my fruit on top after they are cooked.

 Also I add syrup or molasses on top.

It makes them easier to 

heat up in the toaster, if frozen 

and not have fruit such as 

blueberries in the toaster. 

A toaster oven works well

with pancakes cooked with fruit. 

Ingredients

(yields about 12 small pancakes.)

1 1/2 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp. white sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 3/4  cups buttermilk for

thick pancakes, or 

add 1/4 cup milk for

thiner pancakes. 

3 tbsp melted butter (or oil);

(I use vegetable oil.)

1 egg

Directions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, 

baking soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together

the buttermilk, butter (or oil) and egg.

Combine both bowls.

Do not overmix. 

Disregard lumps, they will go away.

Let the batter rest 10 minutes,

pancakes will be fluffier.

Heat a lightly oiled pan or 

griddle over medium-high heat.

I used a griddle at 350-375 deg.

If the mix has become too thick,

add more buttermilk.

Pour the pancake mix, about 1/4 cup

in the pan ( an ice cream scoop works well)

and heat until bubbles

appear on the surface of the pancake

and the edges are slightly dry.

Flip over and cook the other side, 

until browned, about 2 minutes.

If you are serving a lot of guests,

heat the oven to 200deg.F and as

 the pancakes cook, place them on a

cookie sheet in the oven,

to keep them warm.

I don't stack them hot as

they get soggy. 

Before freezing, I let them cool,

on a rack, then stack and freeze.

To freeze, place waxed paper or

parchment paper between each

pancake or they will 

freeze in one clump.

These small square paper below,

 from the Dollarstore work

well between the pancakes for

 freezing. Frozen pancakes store

nicely in large margarine dishes,

or 2 litre ice cream dishes.

Take out as you need them

and place in toaster.
