This recipe has been changed due to the fact that I had no milk in the house. Those of you that know me, know that milk is not usually good in my house. I needed milk for this recipe but I had heavy cream. What is heavy cream? It is milk with added fat, lots of fat. It is really think milk. I actually needed buttermilk for my recipe so I comparized and made my own from heavy cream. My husband actually liked these pancakes better than the other one.
Keep in mind heavy cream makes whipped cream when mixed or whipped combined becomes very thick. You will most likely need to add more water just before frying the pancake batter.
Tools:
- 2 small bowls
- spoon & whisk
- fry pan
Ingredients for the buttermilk using heavy cream:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vinegar
set aside
now combine:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 TBSP sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
combine dry ingredients and then form a well.
wet ingredients are:
- 3 TBSP melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- buttermilk from above
mix in the first 3 in separate bowl and mix. Now add buttermilk while whisking in a little at a time until it’s all in there. You will notice the batter is getting thicker as you whisk. You will need to add water a TBSP at time to get your desired consistency. The batter should be pourable. It can be thick but it will take longer to cook and the inside may not cook all the way.
Cook on a fry pan with butter or non stick cooking spray. I use butter or a little oil. Ladle the batter onto a hot pan and cook till bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Enjoy.
