Farm Wife Buttermilk Pancakes

When I first started dating Jay and wasn’t a farm wife yet, I made him pancakes one morning at my little condo in Edmonton. I’m not much of a pancake eater myself as one of the very un-Canadian things about myself is that I don’t like maple syrup. I know, I know…I’m a weirdo. I do enjoy pancakes with jam or fruit syrup…but I wasn’t really that into them, so I didn’t make them much. Needless to say I turned to good ol’ Aunt Jemima pancakes in a box and Jay said something along the lines of “…pancakes…just like Dad used to make…”! Clearly he wasn’t a fan of my pancakes in a box, so a ways down the road I got his mom’s loved-by-all recipe for buttermilk pancakes and I pledged to never make pancakes from a box again!

All you will need is:

• Buttermilk (clearly!!)
• Egg
• Canola oil
• Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Baking soda

Easy to follow and printable recipe is below, but whisk together 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, 1 egg, 1 tbsp of canola oil and set aside. Combine 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp baking soda in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until combined. I always let my mixture sit for a minute or so, it gets extra fluffy!

Drop pancake batter onto skilled on medium-heat, probably about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup depending on how big you want them. Flip them when they’re bubbly on top and nice and golden on the bottom side! It takes me about 8 minutes or so to cook these babies. Depending on the buttermilk I can get a quite lumpy/thick batter but they always taste the same – amazing!

Fry up some bacon or sausage or whatever your heart desires, throw some butter on the steaming hot pancakes and top with whatever suits your pancake needs!
