Buttermilk Pancakes are an all-time favorite because they are soft and fluffy with the added flavor and creaminess of buttermilk. They are a fabulous quick and easy breakfast, and are often served
as a dessert! These pancakes only take a few minutes to prepare, and cook just as quickly.

Pancakes can be topped with a large variety of toppings, such as the traditional butter and maple or any other flavored syrup, fresh fruit such as bananas, strawberries, or blueberries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, molasses and even ice cream! This recipe can easily become a blueberry or banana (or any other fruit) pancake recipe, simply by sprinkling a few small pieces of fruit into the uncooked side of the pancake batter after they are first poured into the skillet or griddle. Pancakes can be served on their own, or served with sides of sausage, bacon, eggs, fresh fruit and more. Of course, you can always turn these pancakes into a dish called, "Pigs in a Blanket" simply by rolling up a link sausage in every pancake. However you prefer to serve these little cakes, you'll enjoy every bite

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups sifted flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Optional toppings: syrup, fruit sauce, whipped butter, whipped cream, powdered sugar (see recipe for more topping options).

Directions

Place eggs in a blender and blend until mixed. Add buttermilk and melted butter, and blend again until mixed.

Into a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to blender, and blend until well mixed and creamy.

Heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat, then place equal parts butter and oil in a skillet (totaling about 1 tablespoon) and stir to combine. Pour pancake batter mixture into one area at a time in skillet or griddle, allowing batter to spread to about 3 1/2 - 4 inches in diameter. Continue until you have fit as many pancakes as will fit on your skillet or griddle. Continue heating on medium, watching pancakes frequently. When bubbles form and most of them have popped, check to see if the bottom sides of pancakes are golden brown. Once golden brown on the bottom, flip pancakes over to cook other side. Note: Second side will cook faster than first, and will be ready in about 1 minute.

Serve, using any of the following garnishes: Maple or other flavored syrup, butter, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fruit sauce and/or fresh fruit, molasses or even ice cream!
