It was one of those mornings when I reached for the Bisquick and realized that the expiration date was September 2011 (ouch to my womanhood). It was also one of those mornings when I had a fresh batch of cinnamon-sugar butter seductively watching me from the refrigerator. It is natural that a pancake recipe was born.
And these aren't just any pancakes. These are buttermilk pancakes. As much as I detest buttermilk in its natural form, as the basis for pancakes it is, as my Indian friend would say, "dee cat's me-wow."
(And if, like me, you don't have buttermilk on hand, here's an easy and effective buttermilk substitute: mix together one cup of milk and one teaspoon of lemon juice and let the mixture sit for five minutes.)
Buttermilk
Pancakes
Ingredients
1 ¼
cup whole wheat flour
1
teaspoon baking powder
1
teaspoon baking soda
2
tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup
sugar
1 ¼
cup buttermilk
1 egg,
beaten
pinch
of salt
Directions
- Beat egg and mix thoroughly with buttermilk. Add all dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Cook on a griddle over low to medium heat until thoroughly done.
Now, although I'm sure these pancakes would taste excellent coated in plain butter and maple syrup, I don't think you can beat slathering them in the wonder of cinnamon-sugar butter. Here's my recipe:
Cinnamon-Sugar Butter
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. Melt butter.
2. Combine butter, confectioner's sugar and cinnamon thoroughly.
3. Refrigerate.
Happy eating!
