In southern Utah there is a quaint cabin tucked into the hillside surrounding Panguitch Lake. It's been there as long as I can remember, with its wide wooden porch, upstairs loft of toys, and lovely owner...who happens to be my Aunt Pat. She is a dear little lady with a knack for fishing, generously giving, and making a mean stack of Buttermilk Pancakes. Which she will happily make for you, if you sleep overnight at her cabin (and play with the fashion plates in her toy loft, which I may or may not have done when I visited her there a couple of years ago.)
Aunt Pat's Buttermilk Pancake recipe is hands down the best pancake recipe I have ever tried. Not that I'm trying to pour ill will on the several pancake recipes that are already in my archives. School Morning Pancakes, Pumpkin Pancakes, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Oatmeal Pancakes, and Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes all have their place in this world and in my life. I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings you know. That said, if you are looking for a true, classic Buttermilk Pancake recipe...pretty please, my friends. Look no further. This is the recipe you have been waiting for.
Get your self some buttermilk, butter, a nice mixing bowl and whisk and you will be just minutes away from Buttermilk Pancake heaven.
Let's do it, baby.

Recipe from my Aunt Pat
1 C flour

1/2 t baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2. Add to the mix 1 tablespoon of sugar
and whisk it all around to combine.

Hi there! I found you on Pinterest, and your food looks incredibly yummy!!! These pancakes looks so light and fluffy and your pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to visit and see what else you're cookin' up!
Feel free to come by and visit my Cozy Little Kitchen sometime, too. :)
Blessings,

These pancakes are the BEST!!! I was so excited to try them out, I made them for LUNCH today. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur cabin is just over the mountain at Navajo Lake. We spent many summer days hiking down the mountain to the lodge to buy taffy. Nothing tastes better than food at the cabin, however I'm guessing these are hands-down better than Krusteaz pancakes. LOL! We will be having these on Saturday morning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing back some wonderful memories of my own aunt's cabin! And I am always looking for the perfect pancake recipe. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteohhhh looks soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI grew up around Panguitch (just across the mountain) and have such fond memories there. My family also has a cabin about 20 miles from Panguitch, but more out towards Bryce Canyon. We always have pancakes when we're at the cabin as well. Something about cooking them on a cast iron skillet that makes them better too I think!
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me missing home!! That's where my husband and I want to retire.....some day!:) Lot's of good memories!
Oh, and your pancakes look delicious!! Can't wait to try them!
I have a cabin at Panguitch Lake, I always cook pancakes on the outside grill, (even on our winter trip, once is was 30 below and I was still outside cooking pancakes) Our winter trip is in a couple of weeks can't wait to try these! Char
ReplyDeleteI have never made pancakes from scratch and cannot wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteJamie, just today I thought.. "I need to find a recipe that uses Buttermilk" I had bought some for another recipe and didn't end up using it. Ha ha! I am definitely going to try this recipe! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis look delicious. Gotta try this
ReplyDeleteJust tried making these and my flour mixture just clumped up at the bottom. I did everything in order as stated but still it clumped up and basically separated..what did I do wrong?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteDon't be worried. I have had that happen in the past as well. The best I can tell is that it has to do with the brand of flour I'm using. Generic (like the Walmart store brand) flour is pretty clumpy. However, all is not lost. Use a fork next time when you are whisking the wet ingredients into the dry. Use it to press any large clumps against the side of the bowl. Should work fine for you. Better luck, next time! Hope you make them again.
DeleteThanks,

These are seriously the best pancakes I have ever had! I make them once a week for dinner now with Buttermilk syrup and it's heavenly! My husband doesn't like pancakes but when he gets home from overseas I think these beauties will change his mind!
ReplyDeleteDo you think it is ok to use homemade buttermilk....where you add 1T of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 c milk?
ReplyDeleteKarrens,
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever tried it with homemade buttermilk, but my thoughts are that it wouldn't work out as well. Real buttermilk is quite thick, a consistancy you don't get when you add vinegar to buttermilk.
However, that said. If you try it with homemade buttermilk I would imagine you would need less flour by about 2 Tablespoons.
Good luck! I hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will put buttermilk on my grocery list. :)
