Homemade-Pancakes-2

I’ve made these pancakes for over 25 years.  I tried several pre-packaged mixes back in the dark ages, and didn’t think much of any of them.  These homemade pancakes are so simple to put together for a quick weekday or weekend breakfast.  Or how about breakfast for dinner?  Six simple ingredients that are within easy reach in most everyone’s pantry.  They’re light and fluffy, perfect served along side crispy strips of bacon or country sausage links and a fried egg.  That’s the way Richard and I like them.

I use buttermilk. but If you don’t have any on hand, make a fast substitute using milk and vinegar – 1 1/3 cups of whole milk and 1/8 cup of white vinegar.  Let it rest for 5-10 minutes, and you’ve got buttermilk.  Feel free to use the substitute in any recipe calling for buttermilk. Just about all the recipes I use that call for buttermilk offers this substitute in a pinch.  (I confess, I didn’t have buttermilk this morning, used the above-mention substitute, and it worked fantastically!)

This recipe makes about 5 regular sized pancakes and one doggie-sized one.  Feel free to double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.  And, if you like to use whole wheat flour in your recipes, there’s no harm in substituting 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.  I would, however, use whole wheat flour substitute for larger batches, so the pancakes don’t turn out too heavy.

Oh, the pancake on the top of the stack is made especially for our dog, Auggie.  I’m always left with enough batter to make one small pancake.
