I've made a handful of different pancake recipes in the past few weeks and have settled on a tasty, easy recipe. I always look for a recipe that doesn't require separating eggs and isn't fussy. It also has to include ingredients I have on hand. This one fits that bill for me. We eat pancakes enough to be worth it to keep some buttermilk on hand. To make the next pancake breakfast even easier just mix up the dry ingredients and put them in a jar to be quickly mixed with the egg and buttermilk when you have a pancake craving.
Easy Buttermilk Pancakes (from Recipezaar)
- 1 cup cake flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix. It will be a bit lumpy, that's O.K. This recipe serves 4 people, if you are light eaters and there are other things to eat. I double it. I always have cake flour on hand. I've also made it with half cake flour and half unbleached flour. I'm sure it would be just fine with all unbleached flour.
Today we enjoyed ours with fresh strawberries. mmmmmmmm...
