Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
The best buttermilk pancakes are light and fluffy with richness from butter, tang from buttermilk, and subtle vanilla-scented sweetness. A hot stack of pancakes is perfect for a special breakfast or breakfast-for-dinner!
This is going to sound nuts, but I was never really much of a pancake person.
Then the other day we ordered breakfast-for-dinner from Denny’s. I hadn’t had pancakes in years, so on a whim I thought I’d give their buttermilk pancakes a try.
…This recipe for Fluffy Seltzer Water Pancakes with Quick Spiced Maple-Pear Compote makes a lovely festive brunch that comes together in less than 30 minutes. In my family, Thanksgiving Day eats are special from the very beginning. Dinner is served around 5 or 6pm, so we usually sit down to brunch mid-morning.

The recipe below is for one serving, because I’m sad to say my husband doesn’t like breakfast foods (aside from eggs, sunny-side up or scrambled), but also because this makes it easy to adjust for any number of people.
