A little science lesson. Buttermilk, yes, is tangy. This is very very subtle in the pancake. It’s good because it balances out the sweet, especially if you’re topping with syrup. Buttermilk also helps activate the baking powder in the batter. This activation makes the pancake lighter and fluffier. Finally, buttermilk is an agent that helps with guten and in breaking it down.

    I did these with frozen sour cherries and they caramelized nicely. I only got 5 out of the batter but I also used a 1/3 cup for measuring them. Very nice overall! I’ll definitely make again.
