Buttermilk Pancakes

  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 4 T. butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 c. buttermilk (I use 2 Tbsp. vinegar and then fill to the 2 cup line with milk)

Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl.  Whisk together oil, eggs and buttermilk in larger bowl.  Add dry ingredients to wet.  Mix together.  Fry on griddle.  Flip when bubbly.

For Blueberry Pancakes: Add a few fresh or frozen blueberries to batter after pouring into skillet.

For Banana Pancakes: Fold in two mashed bananas to batter.

Strawberry Topping

  • 2 cups frozen, sliced strawberries (fresh works, too)
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1 t. lemon juice
  • 2 t. cornstarch (dissolved in a little water)

Combine strawberries, sugar and water in a small saucepan.  Bring to a slow boil, smooshing strawberries as the warm up.  Stir until sugar is dissolved.  Add lemon juice and cornstarch/water mix.  Stir until thickened.  Remove from heat.  Serve warm.

This is wonderful! I need to do this on Valentine’s Day! I like the way the cornstarch made it a little thicker. It looks like a magazine photo…great job girl!

How do you make your pancakes heart-shaped? do you cook them that way, or do you cut them into shapes after they’ve been cooked? I tried cooking pancakes this evening in heart-shapes but it didn’t work. :(

So cute! I love the heart shaped pancakes! You are such a good mom! We will be out of town this weekend so I am hoping the kids will forget all about V-day!

Thanks for the awesome recipe? Can regular milk be used instead of buttermilk or the buttermilk substitute you listed?
