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!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Method

  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl
  2. Combine beaten eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter in a separate bowl
  3. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the wet mixture. Stir just until combined trying not to over mix.
  4. Ladle about ½ cup of batter onto a med-high heat pan that has been lightly greased with vegetable oil
  5. Flip the pancake when bubbles start to form on the surface, this should take couple of minutes

Waking up is easy with these delicious and fluffy buttermilk waffles.  You can have these ready in less than 30 minutes start to finish.  You can even prepare the batter the night before and keep it in the fridge for a real no fuss breakfast.  These waffles are great on their own with some maple syrup or you can dress them up with fresh berries, Nutella, bananas, or whatever your hungry heart desires.  Check out the recipe below!

  4. Heat waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray
