An Easy Recipe

If you are looking for a good buttermilk pancake recipe, the first place to start is with your ingredients and your equipment. Make sure you have a pan that heats evenly and burners that burn clean and fast. This will help make the consistency and color of the pancakes ideal.

Do not use plastic spatulas. The batter sticks to them, they can tear up a nice pancake, or they can burn on the griddle. A metal one with no holes is the best, especially since it will not let any uncooked batter flow through and onto the griddle. If you mangle your pancakes a little, it is not the end of the world. You can always make them look better by using syrup or fruit to decorate.

When you choose your ingredients, go organic if you can. It makes an unhealthy food far less unhealthy than it normally would be. You can reduce your guilt about eating something so delicious! Good ingredients will really make it taste better, too. The only way you could then ruin the taste was by putting on fake maple syrup.

Organic also essentially means 'from scratch.' It is a lot more rewarding to make anything from scratch and it also means it will taste better. You can adjust the recipe to fit your tastes, which is something that boxed mixes cannot provide.

Here is the list of ingredients: you start off with one cup of buttermilk. Regular milk can be used, they just will not be quite as delicious. You will need one egg, a half teaspoon of baking soda, one cup of regular flour, a half tea spoon of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder, one tablespoon of sugar, and one tablespoon of cooking oil.

Beat the egg well, adding the milk and soda to it. Stir it all evenly. Slowly add the other ingredients, one by one. Stir them in individually. Make sure the batter has no lumps, but do not over stir it.

Pour it on a hot griddle that has been prepped with butter or non-stick spray. Make sure it is on medium heat, especially when you are starting out. The lower the heat, the better, until you get used to how the pancakes will cook that day. Turn when necessary and check to make sure it is cooked all the way through.
