National Pancake Day

To celebrate National Pancake day we had, of course, pancakes for breakfast! Emily had heard on an IHOP commercial the day before about this national holiday and so we decided to celebrate. I made my "Fly off the plate pancakes" recipe that I don't make often because pancakes are not so healthy anyway but this recipe is about as bad as you can get. Then of course you have to have buttermilk syrup with them. After all that sugar I was happy they were going to school.


Pancake Recipe (I think this recipe came from my brother)
For our family I double this recipe. I also made it the night before and then combined in the morning.
1 C flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 teas salt
1 Tbsp sugar
Mix dry ingredients
1 C milk
1 Tbsp oil
1 egg
2 heaping Tbsp sour cream
Whisk egg, milk and sour cream together then add oil.
Combine dry and wet ingredients and bake on hot griddle.

Buttermilk Syrup (We call it special syrup because it was supposed to be for special occasions, but now it is a staple in our home)
1 1/2 C sugar
2 Tbsp corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cube butter
Bring to a boil in a large pan. If it foams stir down. Can boil for up to 7 minutes. I usually boil for about 3-4 minutes. Take off heat and add vanilla. Can be kept in fridge and reheated as needed.
