Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Flapjacks

Source of Recipe

From "In the Kitchen with David" by David Venable


Recipe Introduction

"As a kid, I loved two things about Saturday mornings: cartoons and my mom's buttermilk flapjacks. Weekends were the only time of the week that Mom didn't work, so she had time to make flapjacks for us. I can still remember her piling two or three flapjacks on my plate along with some bacon and plenty of maple syrup. I loved to dunk bites of pancakes and pieces of bacon into that saucy sweetness. Just follow my simple steps and you'll end up with the kind of light-as-air flapjacks you thought nobody made anymore."
