Happy St. Patty's Day

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY EVERYONE!

Here's what's on our table tonight! The very Best Pancakes ever!
I'll admit that they are a little complicated the first time, but let me tell you they are incredible. Not figure friendly at all especially the Buttermilk syrup but that is a must to accompany it!

Best Buttermilk Pancakes Ever

3 c. all-purpose flour

3 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. salt

3 c. buttermilk

1/2 c. milk

3 eggs, seperated

1/3 c. (5 1/3 Tbsp.) butter, melted

Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another container, whisk together buttermilk, milk, and the egg yolks. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Whisking constantly, add melted butter to the milk mixture. Pour this mixture into the pitcher and stir until just combined. This is kind of a pain, but it does have a purpose–you don’t want to over mix your pancake batter, and when you do it in the pitcher, it becomes very difficult to over mix it. Plus, you can pour the batter straight onto the skillet without dirtying any more dishes.

When the flour has been combined but the batter is still a little lumpy, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle to medium-low heat. While the skillet is heating, gently (but completely) fold beaten egg whites into the batter. When the skillet is hot, spray it with a little non-stick cooking spray and then just pour the batter from the pitcher straight onto the hot skillet.

Buttermilk Syrup

3/4 c. buttermilk
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 stick real butter
2 tbs corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:
Combine buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda in a large pot. Like one you’d make soup in. Yes, you’ll have way more pot than ingredients, but this will boil all over your stove if you put it in a smaller saucepan. Bring ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low, it still needs to be bubbling. Cook, stirring very frequently, for 8-9 minutes. You’re basically making candy here and candy-making requires constant vigilance. When it’s done, it should take on this luscious golden-brown color. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
