Pancakes

I love pancakes. I make them a lot, 2-3 times a week and actually have the recipe memorized, which is weird. BUT, once you make them, you'll see why.

Pancakes with Buttermilk syrup:

2 C all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
2 eggs
2 Tbsp veggie oil
2 C milk
1 Tbsp lemon juice

-Mix dry ingredients. Add the eggs, oil, milk and lemon juice. Mix well and let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a skillet or non stick pan on medium heat, and then cook them. I use Pam spray and not oil when I cook them because I think the oil makes them greasy.


Buttermilk Syrup:

1 stick of butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 C sugar
1/2 C buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla

-Melt butter, then add the other ingredients and slowly heat to a boil in a medium saucepan. (This syrup is very rich, so you don't need a lot per pancake!)

love pancakes. That syrup sounds amazing. Lately I've been adding vanilla and cinnamon to my pancakes. Someone told me the other day that she likes to finely chop an apple, saute it in butter to soften it, and add that to the batter. And I like to puree fresh berries and yogurt together for another topping. I could eat pancakes everyday.

And about your sea monkeys post. I do remember those videos...and I think some of them were a part of the Love at Home series of shorts or something like that. Maybe they were even shown on TV for ads??

And maybe I already posted that - or I've just thought it

Could that picture be any cuter?!?! I love it. I love pancakes too and eat them as often as I can get away with, the kids never mind... the hubby on the other hand isn't a fan of pancakes.

Thanks for the recipe. I made them tonight for dinner. I am always looking for the next best pancake recipe. These were so tasty and oddly enough, creamy (that sound weird).

4 out of 4 liked these (and even the neighbor's dogs gobbled the ones that Ellie threw at them)

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
