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.
Freeze leftover pancakes: Pancakes freeze very well. Put a serving size amount into a small freezer bag and freeze. Heat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
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.
