These Buttermilk Pancakes with Bacon were my very first time cooking with
buttermilk. I turned to Martha S for
some advice (but didn't follow it exactly – so what's new?). But the results were definitely edible
although not exactly pretty.
So
you mix together in a bowl:
Firstly,
2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt
and 3 tablespoons of sugar
When
that's mixed you add 2 large eggs (that have been lightly beaten – I did it
just with a fork), 3 cups of buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of melted
butter. Don't overmix – it should look
lumpy.
Make
sure your pan is nice and hot (and put on the oven so you can keep the pancakes
warm). Oil the pan with a little neutral
oil and some butter – do your pancakes one by one – using about ½ a cup of the
mix at a time. Flip them over then there
are bubbles on the top and cook for another minute on the other side.
In
the meantime I had opened my packet of bacon and found that it was actually
bacon steaks rather than rashers – note to self- remember to put on glasses in
the supermarket rather than being vain!
So that meant that it was difficult to make the end result very pretty.
I
did do a garnish with cherries.
They sound delicious. Something so homey about pancakes. Anne@Headfullofbooks

ReplyDeleteCan't always find buttermilk here. I use 2 parts natural yogurt to one part regular milk.

Perfect golden pancakes, Carole! I like the looks of that bacon. It looks like a garnish. And what a garnish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and linking!
I should know better than to read everyone's Weekend Cooking posts when hubby is on a low-carb diet. On the issue of vanity, maybe try multifocal contact lenses? That's what I do! ;)
ReplyDeleteOn our visit back home last week, I made sure to bring home some buckwheat pancake mix from New Hope MIlls, a local favorite. They might be on the menu for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful. I grew up in an Irish household -- my grandfather drank buttermilk in the morning. So I guess I never thought about not cooking with it. I'm glad your first experiment went so well!
ReplyDeleteI think buttermilk is a great ingredient..especially in baking.
ReplyDeletePancakes and bacon are classic. And I love cooking with buttermilk. I can buy dried buttermilk at the grocery store, so I have it on hand whenever I need it.
ReplyDeletesounds yummy! Thanks for sharing at Share Your Stuff Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteI'm always lazy and buy the pancake mix from the store that you just add water to. I need to do this one. Probably MUCH tastier and probably cheaper too (and I'll feel like a real cook ;) ). Thanks so much for sharing and linking up with us again at Delicious Dish Tuesday! Feature this recipe this week! Please come back and share another tomorrow!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's edible I don't main how it looks! I've been thinking about pancakes lately so this works for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing at Tuesdays with a Twist. Come on over and share what you've been working on.
