buttermilk pancakes

perfect buttermilk pancakes, made by the g.c..

the recipe came from the alice waters book

the art of simple food (p. 276). the use of

regular and whole wheat cake and pastry flour

makes the pancakes unbelievably light.

my decorative sprinkled sugar stripe brought

mirth to the breakfast table. (it was breakfast,

i was hungry and not food styling).

the art of simple food is an excellent book

with a lot of tips and techniques. i look forward

to the spring and summer when i will be able

to better explore the vegetable recipes.
