I have spent a long time looking for the perfect pancake recipe.
For the longest time I made pancakes with applesauce. That was really convenient when Caroline was younger because we always had some on hand. Now I don’t use it as much. Plus the pancakes left a LOT to be desired. Then I found lots of great recipes but they all required buttermilk. I never had buttermilk on hand so that never worked. Then I read in the Pioneer Woman’s cookbook that I could make my own buttermilk by putting one Tablespoon of vinegar in a 1 cup measuring cup and filling the rest with milk. Let it rest for 5 minutes and Voila! Now I am in the pancake business and I am so excited!

Buttermilk Pancakes

Preheat the oven to 200° F. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt a thin pat of butter in the pan and spread it around. Once the bottom of the pan has been covered, wipe the butter out gently with a paper towel so that only a very thin film remains. Drop scoops of batter of your desired size (I use 1/3 cup) into the pan. Cook the first side until bubbles form on the surface and begin to pop, and the bottom is golden brown. Flip gently with a spatula and cook again until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Transfer the cooked pancakes to an oven-safe dish in the warmed oven and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve immediately.

Thanks for the tip! We were making pancakes the other day, and I was thinking that I need to find a better recipe. Looking forward to trying this one!
