I couldn’t help myself. These are so light and only work out with fresh buttermilk, so now you really have a choice as I also have two other buttermilk pancake recipes. Here we go!
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp, sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup full fat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk (you may feel it takes a 2-3 tbsp. more)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. melted butter plus 3/4 tsp. melted butter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, buttermilk, milk and melted butter. Keep them separate until ready to cook.
Heat a lightly oiled frypan over a medium high heat. Drop a bead of water on the pan and if it sizzles, it is ready.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and, with a wooden spoon. stir until it is blended together.
Pour 1/2 cup of batter per pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot with butter, syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream. Your choice.
This recipe will make 10-12 pancakes.
Best Ever Yorkshire Pudding
Many years ago, while dining at Michelle’s (Don’s niece) she made these wonderful Yorkshire puddings and, of course, I had to ask for the recipe. She gave it willingly and I found it again so am willingly sharing it with you. .
- 1/2 cup flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Stir the flour and salt together. Beat the egg until thick and combine with the milk.
Make a well in the center and stir in the liquids. Beat with a beater on low speed until the batter is very smooth. (approx. 2 minutes).
Pour 2 tbsp. of the roast drippings in muffin tin cups and heat in the oven until very hot (almost smoking). Remove from the oven and pour in the batter equally until each cup is half full.
Bake at 450 until puffed up and brown. This will take 15-17 minutes. Lower the temperature now to 350 and bake for another 15 minutes. This makes only 6 so if you wanted to have more, double it and then keep some in the oven (with door partially ajar) to keep warm until they ask for more.
I told you these were yummy. Thanks Michelle.
