Do you love pancakes?  Do you love IHOP pancakes?  All of the above?  You will love these pancakes, then.  They are every bit light and fluffy and just like the pancakes you’d order at your favorite breakfast restaurant.  They are quick and easy.  Easy enough that I can make them in the morning for the kids before school.  I recommend using a medium size ice cream scoop for smaller sized pancakes – my wonderful neighbor, Kymber Jasperson taught me that trick!

If you have a big family, you will definitely want to double this recipe because it only makes about 16 small pancakes.

If you have never made your own buttermilk syrup, you are missing out on one of the pleasures of breakfast.  It is also easy and versatile.  Just add a 1/3 of a cup of your favorite jam to change the flavor or even some maple extract.  This syrup will take your pancakes to the next level.

Ingredients

Buttermilk Pancakes

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 heaping tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

Buttermilk Syrup

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup jam - any flavor optional

Instructions

Pancakes

  1. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl.  

  2. Place on hot griddle with a medium ice cream scoop and flip when bubbles appear and are golden brown.

  3. Serve with syrup and fruit topping.

Syrup

  1. In a medium sauce pan on medium heat, melt butter.  Add sugar and buttermilk and stir until the mixture begins to boil.  This is when you would add the jam if you want to flavor the syrup.

  2. Add vanilla and stir (you could also add maple extract if you want it to have maple flavor).  Add baking soda and turn off the heat.  The mixture will foam and double in size.  Stir the mixture and let it settle for a couple minutes.  Pour into a serving dish or container.
