I’m about to tell you something that will firmly cement my reputation as a picky eater (which I deny, by the way): I don’t like pancakes that much. In my defense, I have nothing against pancakes. I just wouldn’t ever choose them for breakfast. Ever. I would choose scrambled eggs or french toast or pretty much anything else before I’d choose pancakes. Once, at the Original Pancake House, I actually ordered a big bowl of yogurt and granola instead of pancakes. Did you notice the subtle irony there?
That being said, my father in law makes really delicious buttermilk pancakes. I mentioned last week that my husband’s family almost always has biscuits and gravy at family gatherings, but what we have just as often is Pop’s Pancakes. They are a true family favorite, whole-heartedly loved by both young and old. In fact, I have actually requested them a time or two—gasp! They are the best buttermilk pancakes I’ve ever had, and everyone who tries them comments on how they’re the best!
- 2 cups flour
- 1 rounded Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup oil
- 1 quart buttermilk
- In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients.
- Place eggs and oil in a blender, and add enough buttermilk to equal 1 quart. Blend together, then whisk mixture into dry ingredients.
- Cook pancakes on a hot griddle until the bottoms are golden, then flip. Continue cooking until cooked through.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Funny how we all love different things! I love pancakes & would never order eggs unless they were buried in a tortilla with lots of other stuff with cheese & sour cream on top! LOL!
Have a great weekend!
This was perfect, sat down to check my email, needed something to make for breakfast and something to do with way too much buttermilk in the fridge, and voila! Here you are with this fantastic recipe! It was a hit with my family! It’s going in the book! Thank you and thanks to Pop!
You…you don’t like pancakes? *gasps* *runs away screaming*
Can we still be friends Shalini?
hey just wondering how many servings this makes? or how many pancakes? thanks a million! love your blog by the way!
Hi there! I’m going to say it makes about 2 dozen normal-sized pancakes. Not silver dollar-sized, and not the ones that are as big as a dinner plate. Hope that’s not too vague, lol!
Those are some fantastic looking pancakes. For a person who doesn’t love them, you did an excellent job with the ones in the photo. (hopefully you returned to the Original Pancake House and tried their buttermilk pancakes……or 49’er flapjacks. Either will make you a lover of the greatest dish in the world, pancakes!)
