Buttermilk Pancakes

I have never made pancakes so fluffy and light before!
This is a pancake recipe from my Betty Crocker New Cookbook. The recipe is a simple one but this time, I tried the buttermilk variation and was surprised at the results. I don’t keep buttermilk in my fridge so I used a substitute of whole milk with a tablespoon of vinegar and it seemed to work very well.
This was served with Olivio margarine, a drizzling of maple syrup and thawed, frozen raspberries.
Here’s the recipe:
1 egg
1 c. buttermilk (whole milk with a tablespoon of vinegar for a substitute)
1 c. all-purpose flour
1?tbsp. brown sugar
3 tsps. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsps. vegetable oil
Beat egg in medium bowl with a hand beater until very fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat and brush with margarine. For each pancake, pour less than 1/4 c. batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook pancake until puffed and dry around the edges. Turn and cook other side until light brown.
Stack on a plate in threes. Top with butter or margarine, pour maple syrup over the top and serve with fresh or thawed frozen fruits.

Hello Elder Sister,
We had our corned beef a few days before St. Patrick’s Day. I still have one in the freezer. But I’m not big on making it particularly on St. Patrick’s Day…haven’t picked up that practise.
The things I post are always a few days old. I cook, take the shots then write a few entries and have it ready to post automatically…that way I don’t miss a day’s post!
