Buttermilk Pancakes for Every Season!
Recipe: Buttermilk Pancakes for Every Season!
Summary: We love these buttermilk pancakes. They can be lowfat and your family will never know it. Diebetic in the family or just cutting back on sugar? Just use SPLENDA sugar blend without compromising taste or texture. We pick fresh blueberries in the summer and have blueberry buttermilk pancakes. In the fall, OH YES, it is pecan buttermilk pancakes with maple link sausage all the way. Don’t stop there…top these pancakes with strawberries romanoff and spiked cream for a gourmet breakfast. My son-in-law is not a breakfast eater so sprinkle with mini-chocolate chips and turn breakfast into dessert. There is no limit to the start of a great pancake. Don’t forget to serve these with warm syrup. If you are looking to cut back on more sugar, I use half warm pure maple syrup and **half Cary’s Sugar Free Syrup.
