My Mom’s buttermilk pancake recipe happens to be my ultimate favourite. You probably have a favourite recipe too, but when you feel like mixing it up, try this one. Especially if your usual “recipe” is Betty Crocker’s or Pillsbury Doughboy’s or whoever makes pancake mix these days.

Pancakes have got to be one of the easiest from-scratch dishes out there, so why bother with a mix that might contain questionable ingredients, and produces pancakes that taste like…they’re from a box?

Fry up some bacon, pour some thick, dark maple syrup, slather on butter, and eat like a king. With some coffee and fruit, I can hardly imagine a better breakfast or supper. (Actually, I can imagine many that are at least equal, which is why I have a blog. But I need to get you thinking about how delicious this is.)

This is also a prime way to use up raw milk that’s been in the fridge a while. Raw milk won’t go bad on you quickly like pasteurized milk does, but it will begin to taste sour and buttermilky. Which makes it ideal for this recipe.
