Buttermilk Pancakes, a recipe from the 2001 Dairy Dairy

Sweetheart found this Dairy Diary from 2001 whilst cleaning his office at home. Before throwing it in the bin, I opened it and looked at what was inside... an amazing selection of delicious and easy recipes... Here is one of them.

This pancake recipe is not too sweet and is perfect for summer. Simple, quick and easy pancakes are a great addition to any of your tea time or brunch events.

I adapted the recipe to my taste: one topped with sultanas macerated in rum and maple syrup


…and the other with homemade blackcurrant jam


Buttermilk Pancakes (original recipe)

Ingredients (makes 12)
Plain flour - 110g
Sugar - pinch
Salt - pinch
Bicarbonate of soda - 1 tsp
Baking powder - ¾ tsp
Egg 1
Butter - 25g melted + extra for frying
Buttermilk - 275ml
Maple syrup - to serve

Preparation
1. Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl. Make a hollow in the centre and drop in the egg.Gradually pour in the butter and buttermilk and stir to a smooth batter. Leave the batter to stand for at least 30 minutes.

2. Melt a knob of butter in the frying pan and spoon in a little of the batter to give you 10cm rounds. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches.

3. Serve immediately with a generous pouring of maple syrup.

  6. When my grandchildren lived in Los Angeles, I made pancakes for them whenever we had a sleepover. I don't think I have had them since they moved away -:(

  9. I usually make either very thin crepes or thick "American-style" pancakes, but I think next time I'll make these thin pancakes. This is like the pancakes they have in England. I would love them with the blackcurrant jam and a nice cup of tea.
