conulyIn preparation for this, I picked up some andouille at whole foods yesterday. While I was there, I happened to see that they were selling real buttermilk - not the stuff you usually buy in the store, but made from whatever's left after you churn.
So I bought it and decided on the spot I'd make pancakes today.
Then, this happened. Eventually I escaped the gravitational pull of my bed and bravely went to make pancakes. I happen to have a box of cake flour, so I said "Screw it, I'll make 'em really light and fluffy! Where's my sifter?"
Took out the enormous box of cake flour. Took out the enormous box of baking soda. Took out the baking powder, the cinnamon, the brown sugar, the salt. Carefully measured out half my flour, all of the other dry ingredients into the sifter.
You know, when you're not paying attention it's really easy to add in a whole quarter cup of baking soda when you meant to add cake flour. Sigh. At least I caught that before I got to the cooking stage! The second round went better, and they were delicious, thank you very much.

Date: 2016-11-30 10:35 am (UTC)My husband discovered that one of our local supermarkets carries real buttermilk; the brand is Kate's. It comes in a yellow/cream colored bottle.
What recipe do you use?

Date: 2016-11-30 11:53 pm (UTC)The usual one, I guess - a cup of flour, a tablespoon of baking powder, a teaspoon each of baking soda and salt, a quarter cup of sugar, a cup of milk, and an egg. Cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract as well, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
