Buttermilk Pancakes
Production of buttermilk is a little different than it was 50 years ago. In days gone by, buttermilk was the liquid that remained after cream was churned into butter. Today, commercial buttermilk is made by combining low-fat or nonfat milk with a natural bacteria that converts the milk sugars into acids, producing a thick, soured milk. In baked goods as well as pancakes, buttermilk acts as a leavening agent when combined with baking soda. This creates gas bubbles, resulting in light, fluffy pancakes with a rich flavor.Pancakes are always a treat for breakfast, and they're even more fun to eat when cooked in whimsically shaped molds.

Perfection
July 17, 2011
I have been trying pancake recipe after pancake recipe every weekend for longer than I'd care to admit. I need not look any further...these are it! No need to get the lumps out; I also refrigerated the batter for 10 minutes or so while waiting for the family to stumble out of bed, and no harm done. I might try it with less butter in the future (my mouth is coated). Suffice it to say no oil was necessary with my nonstick.
Also, I cut it in half with no issues.
Pros: Easy, Appearance, Impressive, Will Make Again
Cons: Unhealthy

The Ultimate Pancakes
May 24, 2011
Wow!! This is the only way to describe these wonderful pancakes because there are no words. They are SOOOO GOOD. Light, fluffy, tasty and as my seven year old put it, Lacy. These are truly the best pancakes on earth.
Thank you Williams-Sonoma for this amazing recipe. I will no longer buy boxed pancake mixes.
Pros: Yield, Quick, Good Value, Easy, Kid-Friendly, Healthy, Appearance, Adaptable, Impressive, Will Make Again

Best pancakes ever.
February 10, 2011
Generally I don't care for pancakes but these are amazing! Easy to follow recipe that even kids can do or help with. Perfect texture every time.
We add wild blueberries or mini chocolate chips for a change.

Great Taste but Doughy
January 2, 2011
These pancakes have a wonderful taste but they do not cook well. I have some family recipes that I have historically used to make pancakes but did not want to unpack multiple boxes to find the recipe (just moved into a new home). I used brand new ingredients that were opened this week (baking soda etc.) and went through several test pancakes but could never get them to cook through (even with my cooktop on 2). They were light but doughy even close to the edges. I would not make this recipe again.

Just brilliant
December 23, 2010
I am somewhat of a pancake connoisseur and am always on the hunt for the "perfect" pancake recipe...no need to look any more! These are outstanding and delicious...fluffly, just a touch sweet. My kids and husband gobble them up without hesitation. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can mix one cup of whole milk with one tablespoon of white vinegar and let it sit five minutes...does the trick perfectly. This is my go-to recipe at least twice a week, often for dinner!

I often will use vinegar and milk in place of buttermilk, but since this recipe also calls for baking soda/powder, I recommend using lemon juice in place of the vinegar, or you end up with a rather foamy batter.

Best Pancake Recipe!
October 23, 2010
These pancakes were DELICIOUS! I have been in search for a great pancake recipe. My search is officially over because these pancakes were light and fluffy with a great taste. Not too sweet ... just right. It doesn't hurt that they were quick and easy to prepare. This one is a keeper. Thank you Williams Sonoma.
I cant wait to try them with a pancake mold.

This Recipe Has Stolen My Heart
September 1, 2010
Pancakes are one of my favorite foods; they are so comforting and yet so easy to make! Over the years I have had many relationships with different pancake recipes and box mixes; yet none can compare to these buttermilk pancakes! They make for a perfect sunday breakfast or just any old rainy morning! My favorite addition to these pancakes is a combination of raspberries, blueberries and chocolate chips! Buttery, tangy, and sweet!

I have tried many this one is tried and true
April 30, 2010
Since I have been a Mom it was my greatest cooking challenge to prepare the best possible Saturday Morning buttermilk pancakes for my family. After trying many recipes I always came up a little short, having to default to my Mom to save our morning meals. But I found this recipe and have never looked back. This is a tried and true formula for the perfect pancake every time. They come out light and fluffy perfect texture. Grab your favorite maple syrup and enjoy your weekend! Get creative and add strawberries, blueberries go wild add bananas :)

These are the best pancakes hands down. They take a little more effort but are worth it. I fixed these for Christmas morning breakfast and they were a huge hit.

Absolutely delicious
April 30, 2010
I love these pancakes! They turn out light and moist, and my family loves them. It is worth using real buttermilk rather than some of the common substitutions.
