Cowboy Daves butter milk pancakes.

Try these I finally made the perfect pancake. More of a souffle than a dense heavy pancake. It's light and luxurious.

Cowboy Dave's buttermilk pancakes.

1cup flour
1/2 ts powder and soda
1/2 salt
1 3/4 buttermilk
1tbsp oil
1 egg
1 tsp dry Active yeast.

Add yeast to warm water 105-115degrees let stand until it begins to bubble.
Mix dry together
Shake butter milk before adding to batter.
Separate eggs
Add buttermilk and eggs together and mix well
Add wet to dry
Let stand at least 30 minutes to an  hour is best.
10 minutes before you are ready to cook whip egg whites to stiff peaks with a 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt then fold in the batter (this will make them super light)
Heat a cast iron griddle med high.

Make the pancakes as big or as small as you  like. It's fun to add fruit or even fried bacon to the cakes. Have fun be creative. Its only breakfast.


I have been making these for the past 10 years and have been eating these for the past 30. My best Friends father used to make these for us Sunday morning after surfing. They were always amazing. It took me promising my first born, to have him give me the recipe. I have been manipulating the ingredients for years to get a texture and flavor I had in my head. Well folks here it is I hope you all enjoy. Play with the ingredients and fill them with everything in the house. Make traditions for your family that will last for generations. It's fun, my kids and my friends always know we will be messing around with some sort of pancake on Sunday morning. Rain or shine.

It's the thing like Sunday morning pancakes that bring me back to my childhood and remind me what is really important.  We are always searching for the next thing in life that will make us happy.  That  next thing that will fulfill that whole in our heart or soul.  What if it really isn't that difficult to fill.  What if that whole is just a yearning for a time in our life when everything just made sense.  A life of naivety and simplicity.

What if,  just what if you can find it in a bowl of pancake batter every Sunday morning. 

Keep Cooking my friends.  Lets save the planet one dish at a time.
