Breakfast for Dinner

I am currently the house guest of a fellow foodie which means new recipes, tricks, and foods everyday! Today my host, Emily, suggested breakfast for dinner! She whipped up pancakes and syrup from scratch! She was gracious enough to share her recipes:




Emily's Ultimate Pancakes 
Ingredients
  • 2 c. buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 c. canola oil
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tbsp. sugar*
  • 1 tsp. salt (if you're using sea salt, cut the amount in 1/2)
  • 1 1/2 c. flour (no need to level it) 
Directions
  1. Heat non-stick griddle to medium-high heat.
  2. Mix buttermilk, eggs, oil,  baking soda, sugar, and salt together.
  3. Add flour gradually. Mix until no longer lumpy. (How easy is that?!)*
  4. Ladle or pour batter onto griddle to form whatever size pancake you like. 
  5. Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes and the underside is golden brown. 
  6. FLIP!
  7. Cook other side until golden brown. (Time varies on size of pancake.)
Tip: Put your own spin by adding fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts. Add after Step 4!

Warning: These pancakes melt in your mouth. You will need serious self-control when preparing and enjoying this recipe. I lack such self-control resulting in the consumption of no less than 6 pancakes. 

This syrup is nothing but calories, so best not to eat it everyday. Whip it out for holidays, birthdays, or breakfast for dinner! It's foamy, rich, and quick to prepare. (For those who have been so lucky to go to Magelby's  in Utah County, this syrup will look and taste very familiar!)

Syrup
Ingredients
  • 1 c. butter
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 2 tsp. Karo syrup
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
Directions
  1. Mix butter, buttermilk, sugar, and Karo syrup. Boil 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. 
  2. Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. 
  3. Pour over piping hot...anything!
Note: This makes twice as much syrup needed for the pancakes made...depending on how use syrup! Store the excess in a glass jar and put it in the fridge immediately!

For those of you who partook of these tasty pancakes, vouch for me and comment. They are simple to make, but pack a punch! This will definitely become your go to recipe. Two batches, Seven people...Zero leftovers!



* Corrections made. Apologies! I'm sure if you tried to make these already, they turned out beautifully, but just imagine if I had given you the right amount of sugar and reminded you to add flour! Thanks for being such great blog followers!
