Does it seem like every time you could have an opportunity to sit down and relax together, something always comes up? I’ve always worked retail, so a weekend off isn’t an option, but I do get every other Sunday off. But whenever I have off, Handsome has to work – or it seems that’s always the case.
This Sunday was all ours – not that we didn’t have a mountain of things to get done. We did, however, get to enjoy the morning together over breakfast… kind off. It was a little rushed, but hey, it was a homemade tasty breakfast no less. Immediately after pancakes and bacon, we rushed off in our separate directions to tackle the day. Someday we’ll get a weekend off that’s not filled with projects and work, right?
Buttermilk Pancakes
From Creative Loafing
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons backing powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Additional butter or cooking spray
Preparation:
Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl (the dry ingredients). Whisk buttermilk, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in another large bowl. Add to dry ingredients. Stir until batter is just blended but still lumpy (do not overmix).
Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter on griddle over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle, spacing 2 inches apart. Cook until bubbles break on surface, about 3 minutes. Turn pancakes over. Cook until bottoms are golden, 3 minutes. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter to skillet as needed.
Serve pancakes immediately with butter and syrup.
With December upon us a weekend of relaxation is not in the foreseeable future. We will be having a ton of fun though between art shows, holiday parties, the actual holidays and a special somebodies birthday.
On a side note, I won’t even lie – watching Christmas movies on November 30th while typing this and getting pumped like a little kid… I am so glad I amuse myself.

I know what you mean about excited, this year I want to make mini panetones as gifts, don’t know if they will work out and will have to buy new little cake tins but hey.. These pancakes look delish, it’s really hard to get buttermilk here for some reason maybe I could use yoghurt instead?

Delicious! There is nothing better than a huge stack of pancakes…unless it involves waffles and they don’t stack as pretty.

Made these this morning here in cold and snowy New Hampshire. They puffed up beautifully and the choc chip addition took them over the top. Thanks for a great recipe!
