Celebrating National Pancake Day!


I don't need an official reason to make pancakes but, heck, if it's a recognized day who am I to argue? Haha~

Buttermilk Pancakes
recipe from The American Country Inn Bed and Breakfast Cookbook
In a small bowl beat egg, then mix in buttermilk and oil. Set aside. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until blended, but slightly lumpy. Lightly grease griddle. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Makes 8 or 9 four-inch pancakes.


I really enjoy nuts added to the pancakes, and always simmer cranberries in orange juice as an accompaniment. So good with maple syrup!


My teacup today is this pretty Victorian Chintz by Burleigh.


Handyman bought two sets for me when we were first married. We did not have much disposable income and these pretty red dishes were and are treasures.


I pull these out of the cupboard at Christmas, Valentine's Day and Fourth of July. They look festive! And two sets are just perfect  for teatime - or pancakes- with my sweet College Girl~





Pass the syrup, please!

  2. Hi Shawn,
    this is the second trial to comment. I don't need a reason for pancakes either. And yours look really yummy. May I have the syrup please? Your red Chintz sets are so pretty. Just perfect for special days of love. Thank you for your sweet comment on the Kusmi tea. For me those teas are really new. I like the flavour of black tea with a bit toffee. Thanks for sharing this tea time and have a wonderful week,
    Johanna

  3. National Pancake Day? I never knew! I would love pancakes tonight and now I have a really good reason : ) Yay!
    I love your rose chintz! It is the most romantic pattern, and as you say is good for Christmas, Valentine's and the Fourth. Gorgeous!

  5. Your recipe "card" is positively precious! My future SIL loves pancakes, and so since I'm kind of "out" of the loop on National Pancake Day (live overseas and am en route home to Manila from Honolulu today), he'll have to enjoy some pancakes in my honor!

    *hugs*

  12. Dear sweet Shawn,
    Thank you so much for your loving comment. I have felt the prayers of so many of my darling blogging buddies this past several weeks. God has been so faithful! Baby Chandler is a joy...a soft spoken little fellow. Oh, the stories we will tell him one day of how God saved his precious little life.

    Your post is so pretty. I love pancakes and you have made them look doubly delicious with all your beautiful photos. Oh, how I love your redware!

    Blessings and love to you, my friend,
    Carolynn xoxo

  14. Your pancakes look incredibly delicious, especially with the sauce on the side. (And nuts! I've never added nuts before). I'm going to have to make our own family pancake day one day soon so we can follow suit!

  16. Your chintz is pretty and adaptable to any celebration. You've caught my interest with nuts in pancakes - I've never added them, but why not!
