Faux Buttermilk Pancakes
I am not one to keep buttermilk lying around the house because it usually just does NOT get used. So, for those of us who don't want to waste a bunch of money on buttermilk for one batch of pancakes....here are some Faux Buttermilk Pancakes! It's as simple as just adding a splash of white vinegar to the milk and letting it sit for five minutes. That's it! Not crazy ingredients or long wait times. You can use either butter or oil in this recipe, but the oil will give you softer, fluffier pancakes. Now, enjoy buttermilk pancakes whenever you want without having to have buttermilk on hand. Enjoy!
