Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pancakes

What’s better than Saturday mornings with a warm mug of tea and a stack of cloudy pancakes smothered in syrup and topped with a dab of melty butter? Nothing. NO-THING. Oh well, a morning without homework would have been much better, but a girl has to do what she has to do, even if it’s the most otrageous math homework ever. Luckly pancakes make up for it, yeah.

I got this flawless recipe from one of my very favorite blogs. Christin’s blog is full of no-fail recipes which will make your mouth water, and they always turn out beautifully. Trust me, I’ve tried a few ones. Plus she’s such a sweetheart, and writes lovely posts as well.

I knew I had to try these when I saw them last week, but I didn’t have any buttermilk on hand and I knew that the milk + vinegar combo wouldn’t do, so I waited until I could make some homemade butter (a post on that is on its way, I feel so bad that I’ve still haven’t shared the wonders of homemade butter with you all!) and therefore obtain some buttermilk. And, you can clearly see that these are worth the wait… what a gorgeous looking stack of pancakes if I may say so myself!

I had been looking for the perfect pancake recipe ever since I started cooking a year ago now, and these really fit the bill. The search is over, guys! I’ve tried lots of delicious recipes over this year: apple pie pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, cinnamon roll pancakes, brownie batter pancakes… BUT these are the best-est ones I’ve ever put into my mouth. These are mom & brother approved, and they’d be dad-approved too if he ate sweets, which he doesn’t (seriously, I can’t understand trhese people who dislike dessert like no but it’s ok because there’s more for me that way *evil laugh*). Anyway, everybody adored these at home and I’m sure that if you guys try these, your families will love them as well.

    Just read your recipe for pancakes – I have proven recipe from a recipe book my Mom had that is probably now 100 years old – I can send if want – it’s the recipe 2 to one – 2 cups flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp soda, 2 eggs, 2 cups butter milk (I just use from grocery) – when grandkids come, always have to make them!!! they even can be frozen and then warmed in morning. Just found couple going to try – PB cup croissants and the chicken salad on croissants. Had hip surgery in April and in Sep 2020, had “gut surgery” so eating and cooking haven’t been going very well for a long time. Just getting back to trying to enjoy some good recipes!!! Thanks for reading.
