Buttermilk Pancakes with Amazing Buttermilk Syrup

Buttermilk Pancakes with Amazing Buttermilk Syrup

PANCAKES:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1-1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
2 Tbsp butter, melted

SYRUP:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup + 1-1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla

Sift the flour, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar into a bowl.  Add egg, buttermilk and melted butter and whisk until well combined.  Pour 1/4 cup portions onto a hot, buttered griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, turning once.  Makes 12 delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes.

For the syrup (and don't skip this because it is so much better than regular syrup with these pancakes!):  In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and buttermilk.  Heat over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves and just before it comes to a boil.  Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.  It will foam up so be prepared!  Serve hot with the pancakes.  Your tummy will thank you!

These are the BEST pancakes I've ever eaten in my life and the syrup was AWESOME!  I halved the original recipe since it's only John and I for breakfast but we ate them all!  Seriously!
