Buttermilk pancakes

 

Everyone has a favorite pancake mix, and that crazy expensive Kodiak brand has taken over the shelves. Wish I'd bought stock in that company before the pandemic, when everyone started to cook breakfast at home. We've always liked the "Hungry Jack" brand, but eventually it was only available at Target, and now it's disappeared from there.

I don't make pancakes often, and that open box can sit on the shelf for weeks. It's kind of gross, when you think about the preservatives. Anyway, nothing compares to pancakes made from scratch with just a few simple, clean ingredients-- the only hard part is remembering to buy a carton of buttermilk. 

This recipe is from my (literally) battered up old Betty Crocker cookbook. Copyright 1961, when white flour ruled the pantry. For a winter morning treat, it makes the fluffiest, most tender pancakes you can imagine. Nothing like those thick lumps of Kodiak protein cement.
