Ahhhhhhh... Saturday morning breakfast. We love greeting the day with warm buttery pancakes (with the occasional chocolate chip added...) This is a "buttermilk" recipe without the buttermilk. I can never figure out what to do with the rest of the buttermilk when I buy it, so this is my answer. Cheap fries up crunchy bacon on the side as a nice complement. Mmmmmm... my mouth is watering as I type...

Ingredients
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract


Canola oil for pan frying

Optional add-in's:
Chocolate chips (our fave)
Banana
Blueberries
Toasted Nuts
Cinnamon

Directions
Mix milk and vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit and milk will sour and thicken like buttermilk (about 5-10 minutes)

Whisk dry ingredients together

Add egg, vanilla, and almond to "buttermilk" and whisk together.

Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix together.

Pour oil in pan so there is a thin layer covers the bottom (this helps make the edges of he pancakes nice and crispy). Heat oil.

Ladle batter into the pan and fry 'em up!


I love Saturday mornings!
