Buttermilk Pancakes

By now, you are well aware of my love for breakfast foods.  Especially pancakes!  So it's no surprise, when browsing through Julie's Eats and Treats to find a recipe to make for this month's Secret Recipe Club, that I was drawn to her mom's recipe for Buttermilk Pancakes. 

Julie's blog features Simple, Easy but Delicious Food. I was drawn to a number of her recipes.  My "short list" included a whopping 13 recipes, but I had a major craving for pancakes so they ended up winning out.  I'm sure I'll be making more of her recipes in the future.

I like to make pancakes as an easy but delicious supper.  Served with an omelet and fruit, this made for a filling meal.  I added a cup of chocolate and peanut butter chips.  (I'm not a fan of syrup, so I put the sweetness in my pancakes.)  I think these would also be great with some blueberries or any other add-ins you choose.  I made a double batch of pancakes so I would be able to have pancakes for breakfast through out the week.  I've enjoyed these pancakes nearly every day last week, and I'll certainly make them again!

Buttermilk Pancakes

Makes 9-5" pancakes

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, beaten
1-1/8 cup buttermilk
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips (or other add-in of your choice)

1.  Preheat and lightly grease an electric griddle.

2.  Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

3.  Add the egg, buttermilk, and butter.  Stir until just combined, the batter may still have a few lumps.

4.  Drop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle, spreading lightly with the bottom of the cup to even out the batter. 

5.  Cook until lightly browned on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
