Buttermilk Pancakes

February 18, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

Good morning! Did you enjoy your Valentine’s day weekend? Were you wined and dined or did you spend some quiet time with your loved ones, or perhaps you spent your day celebrating with your girlfriends? Whatever you did I hope that your weekend was everything that you wanted it to be. 

Mine was nice and relaxing and spent in the kitchen with my husband; we cooked and baked and tried several new recipes. If you do share the kitchen with your husband you should try it, it is a nice way to spend time together. 

In our house I am primarily the baker and my husband the cook. I often cook too but I have to be honest my husband has never baked with me. Once I managed to persuade him to decorate sugar cookies but he lost interest, his job is to taste the goods and be sure that they are ok to give away.

I am a huge fan of “sweet” breakfasts, like pancakes and waffles, chocolate oatmeal and things like that. Typically I make my family recipe for pancakes but this weekend I decided to try something new and make Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes. They were buttery, fluffy, and delicious; not to mention cute because I shaped them as hearts using cookie cutters. 

Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes 

  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 
  • 2 Tbs. sugar 
  • 2 tsp. baking powder 
  • 1 tsp. baking soda 
  • 2 cups buttermilk, room temperature 
  • 4 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted 
  • 3/4 tsp. vanilla bean paste
  • dash of cinnamon(optional)
  • dash of nutmeg(optional)
  • Garnish with powdered sugar, berries and pure maple syrup 

Directions:

In a bowl lightly beat the eggs with a whisk.  Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Stir just until the batter is mixed, some lumps are ok; do not overbeat. If the batter is too thick add additional buttermilk. Sometimes I add an additional 1/2 cup. 



Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium high heat then spray with cooking spray or lightly grease with vegetable oil.  If using molds or cookie cutters spray liberally with cooking spray.



Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is browned about 2 minutes. Using a spatula flip the pancakes. Cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Keep pancakes warm in preheated 200 degree oven until all the pancakes are cooked.



Serve with butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, berry compote or whatever else you like. 




I hope that you have a great day! By the way these pancakes would be perfect for “pancake Tuesday” the start of Lent.

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect?

Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
