Buttermilk Pancakes

thenaturalfoodie
Weekends are made for pancakes, and one of my Saturday morning favorites are a steaming stack of delicious, fluffy, buttermilk pancakes. Golden crispy edges, soft and light, and incredible buttermilk flavor drenched in pure maple syrup is such a feel good way to start any day. I also provided instructions to veganize this recipe.
