German Pancakes with Divine (Buttermilk) Syrup

This is my little sister’s favorite breakfast. The syrup is sweet and sugary pairing well with this recipe. The pancakes are light and fluffy, with an egg flavor with a hint of sweet vanilla. The edges of the pancakes pull up creating a boat like look. We like to fill the boat with fresh cut fruits like strawberries, bananas and blueberries!

Don’t have buttermilk on hand?

That’s okay, I never do! Instead simply take a cup of regular whole milk and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to it. Stir for 2 minutes and let the milk curdle. And Walla! You have yourself grade a buttermilk!
