Tuesday Tips

Today we made buttermilk pancakes. We loved them, we made the mix ourself and mmm it was yummy.
Here is the recipe:
Buttermilk pancakes

1 cup of unbleached white flour
1 cup of  unbleached white whole wheat
2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup of vegtable oil
1 3/4 cups of buttermilk

Sift together all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, in other bowl beat eggs slightly add oil and buttermilk to eggs. Combine mixture to dry bowl stir just to moisten and fry in hot greased skillet on both sides till brown.

We top our with butter, fruit, nutella, whipped cream, what ever we have on hand.

Now this wouldn't be Tuesday Tips if I didn't include a tip.Well this weeks tip is since we are using a lot of buttermilk here to continue buying it every time so I started making my own.
To make your own buttermilk
3 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of the original buttermilk at room temperature

Combine together in a quart jar, stir, then let it sit out somewhere warm for 24 hours. and then you have a fresh batch. Works great, just don't forget to save another 1/2 cup at the end to make a new batch. It keeps going and going.

Do you have a tips you want to share, would love to hear them.
