Need to impress an overnight house guest??? Or take that fundraising pancake feed to the gourmet level??? Here's the recipe for you!!!
My sis (Nat, the best chef in Kansas ) made these for me a few years ago. The recipe is titled "Best Ever Pancakes" and they really are. I add sliced bananas and crushed pecans or walnuts (whichever I have in the pantry).
I had to have these this morning. Of course, I got all the ingredients together (or what I thought to be all of the ingredients) started the mixing up and realized I didn't have any eggs! ?*!! @ Does that happen to any of you??? So my quick breakfast took a little longer because of the trip to get eggs. It's moments like these I wish I had a chicken coop in the back yard. Take a peek at the pic...it was worth the extra effort. Oh...it's a family of 7 at our house so I double the batch and keep the leftovers in the fridg. They make a great quick breakfast for the kiddo's. Nat shared this goodness with me and now I must share the goodness with you.....
I cook them in a large cast iron skillet (I don't have a cast iron griddle). The trick I've found with these is cook them slow on a low heat. It really keeps them fluffy, and keep the stirring to a minimum. These yummylicious cakes don't like a lot of stirring it pops the air bubbles that keep them light and fluffy. And need I say, use the real dealio syrup...ya know the kind that comes from Maple trees???
"Best Ever Pancakes"
1 3/4 cups flour
2 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1 1/2 t. baking soda
2 eggs well beaten
2 c. buttermilk *
2-4 T. melted butter
Sift flour before measuring, then re sift with sugar, salt, baking powder and soda. Beat eggs, then mix with buttermilk. Combine the dry and liquid ingredients with a few quick strokes. Than add the melted butter. Mix ingredients well but with the least amount of strokes as possible. Batter will be lumpy. Bake on a hot griddle until browned on both sides.
YIELD: about 20 4inch cakes
*(I use Bob's Red Mill powdered. Just follow the directions on the back of the package)
Eat and enjoy!!!!!!

Mmmm...those look yummy! and I love your silverware!
And they ARE yummy! Guaranteed to not disappoint! The silverware has been a fav I found at a discount houseware store in one of those outlet malls. I found the set over 9 years ago now. They have held up well! :)
Thanks for sharing - Buttermilk definitely enhances the batter. I have also used the Hungry Jack Complete Extra Light & Fluffy and instead of using water, I use the buttermilk (watered down a bit) and the pancakes turn out delicious. I like to add fresh blueberries or blackberries once the batter is put on the pan,
