Buttermilk Pancakes From Scratch Are Easy To Make

buttermilk pancake recipe
When it comes to pancakes, most people reach for the box of pre-mixed ingredients in their pantry. If you’re like us, buttermilk pancakes only make it to the menu on weekends — and not all that often. Not that they’re hard to make, it’s just that making a full breakfast requires a more extensive cleanup when you’re done.

To lessen that chore, Bisquick has even packaged their mix in a one-time use container that requires you to simply add water, shake, and pour. This reduces the effort involved in making pancakes, as well as the cleanup afterwards. Sure, you get a satisfactory pancake for your efforts, but for me you can always improve upon “satisfactory”.

Making really good buttermilk pancakes from scratch is very easy, takes only a matter of a few extra minutes and creates no more of a mess to clean up than making them from a mix. The one secret I’ve found to making your pancakes great rather than just satisfactory is by using fresh buttermilk.

In my area, buttermilk comes in half-gallon containers, requiring me to find ways to use it before it gets too old in the refrigerator. With only 2 of us in the household, this means we eat a lot of pancakes until the Buttermilk is gone. All “complete” pancake mixes (including buttermilk pancake mix) use dry milk products so that all you’re required to add is water to make the batter. You can buy dry powder buttermilk mix that — by adding the powder along with so much water to any recipe requiring buttermilk — is supposed to replace fresh buttermilk.

I tried this once and found the results to be pretty sad. I would highly recommend that if you’re going to the trouble to make pancakes from scratch, use real dairy buttermilk. The results will be well worth the effort. Whisk everything together, and ladle onto a hot, well-greased electric griddle.

You’ll have enough batter to make about a dozen 6-inch pancakes. This recipe produces a very fluffy and light pancake that has incredible flavor. It quickly became our favorite weekend or camping breakfast, as nothing sticks to your ribs better than pancakes with a side of bacon or sausage. For something different, try adding an overripe banana to the batter. This will spread that great flavor throughout your pancakes. Another favorite flavor we use a lot is almond. Simply add a teaspoon of Almond Extract to the batter for a wonderful taste.

Making your buttermilk pancakes from scratch may take a few extra minutes, but when you’re making breakfast for your family or friends, don’t you want to make great pancakes rather than just good ones, Buttermilk Pancakes In Fun Shapes! I’ve been involved in RVing for over 40 yrs — including camping, building, repairing, and even selling RVs.

I’ve owned, used, and repaired almost every class and style of RV ever made. I do all of my own repair work. My other interests include cooking at home, living with an aging dog, and dealing with diabetic issues. If you can combine a grease monkey with a computer geek, throw in a touch of information nut and organization freak, combined with a little bit of storyteller, you’ve got a good idea of who I am.

Deep-fried fruit fritters are a very easy yet impressive dessert. Use thick slices, cubes or rings of apples, pears or pineapple, or bananas cut into three or four pieces. Prepare a batter using pancake mix, adjusting the amount of liquid so that the batter is thick enough to stick to the fruit. If you lift a spoonful of batter out of the bowl, it should slide off the spoon in blobs, rather than pour off in a stream. You can flavor the batter with cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest or vanilla, if you wish.

Heat enough canola or vegetable oil to cover the fritters until a drop of batter sizzles and turns golden within a minute. Dunk the pieces of fruit in the batter, transfer them to the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden. Don't crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Drain the fritters on paper towels, dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Mix up pancake batter according to the directions on the packaging, but substitute beer for water or milk. Aim for the same consistency as a fritter batter.
