Light Buttermilk Pancakes

[pwrmom]

I know, I know, not ANOTHER pancake recipe. But, this was an easy recipe to throw together this morning using up the rest of the fat-free buttermilk I had hanging around and the family gobbled it up (probably because I used regular white flour instead of whole wheat and added no weird ingredients like wheat germ:D)....I cut it out of Sunday edition of Parade Magazine back in January but it's listed in the Epicurious site under recipes, Simply Delicious:

I need to use up my buttermilk fast, so I'll be making these and freezing them. My kids enjoy pancakes, but I don't always feel like making them, so this will be great. I'll just nuke them as they want them. I know this is an old thread, but thanks for the recipe! :D

Thanks. I just found this too.

Thanks for this recipe - I must have missed it the first time around :D

Funnybone - could you tell me how you go about freezing these? I have some guesses, but am wondering what the best way is. This would be a great way to keep the extras for my toddler :D

I don't have much experience freezing them, but this is what I did.

I have a round rubbermaid container that I will be keeping them in. I just made them, let them cool, and them put them in the container with plastic wrap between each one. I didn't want them to be all frozen together. If I had the room in the freezer or patience, I could have frozen them individually and then stacked them w/o the plastic wrap in between. They won't be in there very long though. If you don't have a container to keep them in, a ziplock bag works too.
