Spending the night with Mimi meant you got pancakes the next morning. She made them from scratch and would cut up strawberries and top them with whip cream. I remember when she had fallen and broken her hip. We woke up in the hospital the next morning and she asked me and the nurse if we wanted pancakes. She was deep in the throws of dementia and thought she could. It helped my heart that she remembered that spend the night parties like we had that night meant breakfast. Mimi always made our time together special.
We didn’t have any strawberries this morning but maple syrup is a good substitute. Remembering Mimi this morning.
4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
2 large eggs at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk at room temperature
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Mix the wet ingredients with a whisk. Add dry ingredients. And whisk until combined. There will be small lumps, be sure not to overmix. Rest for 5-10 minutes. Heat a lightly oiled skillet to medium-high heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter into skillet and flip after about two minutes or until the top is set and bubbles cover the top. Flip the pancake and cook the bottom for an additional 1 minute or two. Pancakes should be golden brown. Serve with strawberries and whip cream or maple syrup, whatever you like.
