Recipe FAQ's

What does buttermilk do in pancakes?

There is a reason buttermilk pancakes tastes so much better. Buttermilk plays an important roll in making the fluffiest, tastiest pancakes. It adds a subtle tangy flavor but it also reacts with the baking soda and helps the pancakes to rise and makes them tender.

Do buttermilk pancakes taste sour?

Buttermilk pancakes have a slightly tangy flavor. They do not taste sour.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Buttermilk: Can you substitute milk for buttermilk? Not really. Yes, you can use whole milk to make pancakes but the pancakes will be flatter and not have that buttermilk tangy flavor everyone loves in buttermilk pancakes.
  • Perfect sized pancakes: Using a ¼ inch measuring cup is the easiest way to cook uniform sized pancake. This recipe will make 10 medium pancakes when using a ¼ cup measuring cup.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Buttermilk: Can you substitute milk for buttermilk? Not really. Yes, you can use whole milk to make pancakes but the pancakes will be flatter, not as fluffy and not have that buttermilk tangy flavor everyone loves in buttermilk pancakes.
  • Blueberry Sauce: Serve warm over freshly made pancakes or even waffles.
  • Leftover Syrup: Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within one week.
