It's hard to believe it's been 2 weeks since I posted here....it's been a very long two weeks. First, it was my daughter's 21st birthday and we celebrated a few times. Then, we had tragedy strike in our community and no one has really wanted do anything or go anywhere. So, just like that it's Fat Tuesday/Shrove Tueday/Mardi Gras. I decided to make pancakes tonight to try to make everything right with the world...I'm sure nothing has changed but at least we were comforted for a bit. You can easily make this gluten free by using coconut or almond flour and dairy free by using coconut or almond milk. I doubled this batched and made half with chocolate chips and half with blueberries and a smashed banana. Both were amazing! Let me know what you think. (I used about 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips for the first one and one banana and 3/4 cup blueberries for the other.)
A Vorte Sante!
1 1/2 cups flour (of choice)
2 Tbsp sugar (of choice)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg slightly beaten
1/2 tsp pure vanilla
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 Tbsp oil of choice
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In another bowl stir together wet ingredients, whisk together until just slightly lumpy. Cook about 1/4 cup of batter on medium heat until golden brown, flip and repeat until all the batter is gone. Enjoy!
*Add fruit or chocolate chips once the batter is mixed. If you don't have buttermilk add 1Tbsp of vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar) to the milk, let sit for 10 minutes and voila, you've got buttermilk!
