We don’t normally make pancakes or anything like that on weekend mornings, but we had some buttermilk to use up and my hubby immediately suggested pancakes. I decided it was a good opportunity to try the Tall, Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes from the Smitten Kitchen blog.

I was able to throw together the batter while barely awake, which is exactly what I’m looking for first thing in the morning. I made a full batch because I knew if we didn’t eat them all (we did) I’d eat them as a snack later in the day.

My hubby actually cooked these off. He used our larger cast iron pan, over the 5th burner on our stove, which is a long oval one. Our cast iron isn’t particularly well seasoned, but he threw some butter in the pan and didn’t seem to have any trouble.

We did not put them in the oven as they came off the pan, instead they went straight onto a serving platter. We ate them with fresh strawberries and maple syrup, and they were delicious. Fluffy as promised, with a light texture.
