Today I’m sharing one of my best recipes. My guys request these pancakes often. Hands down this is my guys all time, absolute favorite breakfast. I am legend at my house for these pancakes. They are an absolute favorite around here! We have a tradition of making them the first morning whenever we go camping. They are also a special treat I love to prepare for my guys on Christmas morning after all the gifts are opened and the floor is covered in wrapping paper. I never have any leftovers, EVER! These buttermilk pancakes are just as easy to prepare as the ones made from a pancake mix and they taste ten bazllion times better! You absolutely MUST give these a try!
Start by whisking together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs and buttermilk. Start with 1⅓ cups buttermilk and add up to 1½ cups to obtain the right consistency. Whisk until you have a nice smooth batter. It’s ok it there are a few lumps in the batter, just no really big ones.
Heat a large skillet over medium high. Add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
When the oil is nice and hot add about a ⅓ cup of batter.
Cook on the first side until the batter is covered with bubbles and they start to pop.
The pancake should be a rich golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side.
TIP: Place a platter in the oven and set the temperature on warm or low. As you cook up pancakes, place them on the platter in the oven to keep them warm until it’s time to devour them.
Serve with a generous dab of butter and real maple syrup. Add fresh fruit such as raspberries or sliced strawberries and a sprinkling of powdered sugar if you want to get really fancy.
So simple but oh so delicious! The secret is to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to get that lovely vanilla flavor. The maple syrup really compliments the vanilla in every single bite! The buttermilk makes them oh so tender, the baking soda along with the baking powder makes them light and fluffy. These really are oh so very good. I hope you decide to give them a try.
