Recipe FAQ's
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.
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.
Blueberry Pancake Syrup
We love fresh blueberries in my family and I love to find ways to use them when they are in season.
Homemade blueberry syrup is easy to make and tastes so much better than store bought.
Eating homemade buttermilk pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup will make your taste buds dance. You can also use this syrup as an ice cream topping.
