Buttermilk pancake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought it might be time to repost some of the old-fashioned things that you all like, so that you can put these things together quickly and easily. Pancakes, especially real buttermilk pancakes, are always welcome in the morning, and in some areas, it is so cold and so deep in snow that – well, what could be better than a plateful of these succulent breakfast items on a cold, inhospitable morning?\u00a0 This is your breakfast, and yes, you can add hashed potatoes (always good for you), and eggs and sausage or bacon to supplement the pancakes.<\/p>\n

Better Homes & Gardens 1953 Pancakes recipe, including the buttermilk part<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1 1\/4 cups of sifted all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

3 teaspoons of baking powder (Clabber Girl is available)<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon of sugar<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon of salt<\/p>\n

1 beaten egg<\/p>\n

1 cup of milk (note: in 1952, 2% milk was not available; use whole milk if you are not making buttermilk pancakes)<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons of salad oil (corn oil or olive oil) or melted shortening or bacon fat. I used olive oil. Canola oil does not work for this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For buttermilk pancakes, follow these substitutions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Substitute bnttermilk for whole milk<\/p>\n

Add 1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda and cut the baking powder to 2 teaspoonfuls<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder, sugar, and salt. Give the dry ingredients a good stir to mix them.<\/p>\n

Combine beaten egg, milk (or buttermilk), and oil and stir thoroughly. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until the flour mixture is moistened. The batter will be very lumpy.<\/p>\n

Hint: cook the bacon or sausages ahead of time and put them in the microwave or the oven to stay warm.<\/p>\n

Cooking directions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Bake on a hot griddle (yes, that is verbatim).\u00a0 Makes about 12 dollar-sized or 8 four-inch pancakes.<\/p>\n

Note: Make sure you grease the griddle with something like olive oil or some other fat, or the pancakes will stick. I used olive oil on one batch and bacon grease on another. Both work quite well, and we have to remember than in the 1950s, a lot of things that go into the trash now were recycled and re-purposed, including bacon grease.<\/p>\n

I made six pancakes out of it.\u00a0 The batter is quite thick and lumpy, and stuck like crazy to the dipper that I used, but when cooked, the lumps disappear and these real buttermilk pancakes have excellent flavor, requiring nothing more than real butter and good maple syrup, and maybe some J’ville sausages or nice, crispy bacon.<\/p>\n

If this doesn’t fill your grandkids up, they aren’t human.\u00a0 There are two more old-fashioned recipes which I will post tomorrow. Cooking ahead saves a good portion of your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
