Breakfast in Bed!

When I was growing up, my sister and I would sometimes make our mom breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day. Now my granddaughter, 12-year-old Taylor makes her mom, Melissa breakfast in bed just because. Her specialty is waffles. Ours used to be pancakes. My mom has this special pancake recipe. It has many different ingredients ,but are well worth the effort. Not long ago a friend, whom I shared the recipe, told me that when she makes these pancakes she doubles the recipe. Then she freezes some of them and warms them up for another time.  I have never done that, but I may try it sometime. I hope you find them worth the effort!

Best Pancakes
2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup quick oatmeal
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 cup+2 Tablespoons flour

Pour buttermilk into mixing bowl. Add soda and salt.Stir in sour cream until it foams. Add eggs and beat. Add remaining ingredients, beat until no lumps. Pour batter by 1/4-1/3 cups on hot griddle. Turn when bubbles appear on surface, until nicely browned. Serve with butter and syrup.
 
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms. I hope that some of you will enjoy being pampered - if not breakfast in bed, than in another special way!
