Buttermilk Pancakes

Incase you couldn’t tell, I like breakfast foods a lot, and these buttermilk pancakes are no exception.  They are quick and easy to make, and can be really impressive when they are all dressed up.   Serve them with fresh fruit and maple syrup for an amazing brunch or breakfast.  Feel free to customize the recipe by adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or your favorite berries to the batter for an extra burst of flavor and texture.  Recipe below!

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups buttermilk
