Buttermilk Pancakes

It's not often that I make pancakes but decided to whip up some buttermilk pancakes for breakfast this morning. The recipe was pretty simple and I am wondering why I don't make them from scratch more often. I served a side of ham and fresh oranges. It turned out to be quite a tasty breakfast.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Serves 4

Buttermilk Pancakes, Ham & fresh oranges

ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

• 1 tsp cream of tartar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 3/4 cups buttermilk

• 1 1/2 tsp sugar

• 4 tbsp melted butter

Vegetable oil for skillet and maple syrup for topping

directions

1. Pour the flours, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together.

2. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk and sugar in a stand mixer until foamy, then add melted butter. Add the flour mixture slowly on low and stir until just combined.

3. Heat the griddle pan over medium heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Drop ladles of batter onto hot skillet to make the pancakes, flip when golden brown. Serve with butter and syrup.

Once the pancakes were done, I added sliced ham onto the hot griddle until charred on both sides - YUM!

Enjoy!
