This easy to make buttermilk pancake recipe is absolutely fabulous!
I don’t know how I missed using buttermilk in pancakes for so long but it makes an amazing difference. They turn out light and just the right texture.
The buttermilk adds just a slight bit of tartness to the pancake that works really well with your favorite syrup.
The buttermilk not only adds fantastic taste to the pancakes. It also makes the pancakes very tender.
A good homemade pancake recipe like this one makes it easy to create great restaurant style breakfasts right in your own kitchen.
