Is there a better way to start any day?
Pour batter onto hot griddle. Turn pancakes when puffed and full of bubbles, but before bubbles break. Flip and bake second side to golden brown. Makes 10 4-inch pancakes.
* If you're out of buttermilk, try adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to regular milk. Put the juice in the cup, then top off with milk and wait 5 minutes for milk to clabber before using in mix.
April 18, 2011 (CHICAGO) -- This recipe for Bruce Paltrow's World-Famous Pancakes is courtesy of Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook: ''My Father's Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family and Togetherness.'' Ingredients:
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter, and eggs together in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking just enough to combine (small lumps are okay). Let the batter sit, covered, overnight. The next morning, heat up your griddle or favorite nonstick pan and slick it with a little butter. Add enough milk to the batter to thin it to the right consistency -- the thicker the batter, the thicker and heavier your pancakes; the thinner the batter, the more delicate your pancakes -- neither is wrong. Cook the pancakes on the griddle, flipping them after bubbles appear on the surface of the uncooked side. Let cook 2-3 minutes more, then remove, and eat with lots of warm maple syrup.
And, maybe the best pancakes of all time:
(2/16/12) More on pancakes: I was in the super market, thinking about John Lund's mother, Bernice, when I spotted this package which I purchased and brought home. (Look at the name on the back of the box.)
I made the "Lund's Swedish Pancakes" for a Sunday breakfast and reported to same Yvonne later that day. She told me her simple recipe for her Swedish Pancakes, and although I didn't get it right, got it good enough to make these Monday morning:

Me: Then,
(2/20/12) Yvonne, (2/21/12) That is just about the same recipe (times 4) that I use without the extract. I like to put bananas or strawberries on them and roll them up too. Happy pancakes... or as Jati would say panpakes. yvonne
