BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

TWO RECIPES FOR BUTTERMILK PANCAKES:
The first recipe is a recipe that Delma Brewer shared for Buttermilk Pancakes.  This is the recipe she uses when she uses the buttermilk syrup (recipe posted previously).

BUTTER MILK PANCAKES

1 egg

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 cup of oatmeal

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

3 Tbsp. oil

1 cup buttermilk

This second recipe is printed from the link from the previous post.  

BUTTERMILK PANCAKES 

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 4 Tbsp. butter, melted

NOW YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO NOT MAKE BUTTERMILK PANCAKES WITH BUTTERMILK SYRUP!!!  

Notice that the second recipe is a rather large batch of pancakes compared with Delma's recipe.  (2 cups of flour vs 1/2 cup of flour and 3 cups of buttermilk vs 1 cup of buttermilk.)  So depending on your family size, you may have to double or triple Delma's recipe or cut the other recipe in half.

MOTHER-DAUGHTER ACTIVITY RECIPE

Although we had a rather small turnout for the Mother-Daughter Relief Society Activity, those who were there had a really good time.  We had a pancake dinner (regular pancackes and chocolate chip pancakes) with delicious toppings: whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, peanut butter, maple syrup, and buttermilk syrup.  I had never even heard of buttermilk syrup, but it was delicious, and several people have asked for the recipe.

So here is the recipe, with the link to where Shantel got it.  The link also gives a recipe for buttermilk pancackes.

Buttermilk Syrup

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

Combine butter, sugar and buttermilk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves(or starts to boil). Then remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Stir to combine. Syrup will foam up, but that is part of what makes it SO incredible. Don't be alarmed by that!
