Buttermilk Pancakes

Buttermilk Pancakes have a light and spongy texture and their flavor only hints of the richness and tanginess that buttermilk offers. You begin these pancakes as you would any regular pancake batter; by whisking together the flour, baking powder and salt. For this recipe, replace the milk with buttermilk. The Buttermilk Pancakes are so good with pure maple syrup.
