These are the best homemade pancakes ever. Yup. I said it.

What I love about this recipe is that it’s so delicious and light, with the perfect amount of sweetness. It’s super easy to make, but you need to know a few key points before you can make the best pancakes (EVER):

All you ingredients need to be room temperature (even the buttermilk and egg). I find that a cold batter does not do well with a hot cast iron skillet.
You need fresh baking soda and baking powder, or else it won’t rise well or taste good.
Don’t overmix your batter (medium lumps) – use a fork.
Let your batter rest 5 minutes after mixing.
Use a cast iron skillet if you can!

Here’s the recipe for them, and ENJOY!

My breakfast for today: buttermilk pancakes, meyer lemon curd, candied meyer lemon and whipped crème fraîche.

In other words, I’m still in denial about winter (hey, it’s not a cold December, right??)!

Meyer lemon always interested me, I always thought it was a fancy kind of lemon, which it kind of is – tastes like a cross between a lemon and an orange…and you also may have a bit of trouble finding it at your local grocery. But the taste, YUM!! I love lemons but these lemons I love as well, they’re a bit less sour and are smaller than regular lemons.

The highlight of this recipe was definitely the meyer lemon curd. WOW. What a delicious and creamy custard, I couldn’t stop eating it. Definitely was surprised by how good the meyer lemon tasted. YUM!!! I want to try making lemon bars with them next!!

Red Velvet Stacks

My favourite kind of stacks.

How do I begin to describe the most insanely delicious red velvet pancakes?

Perfect as a post V-day breakfast, these pancakes are fluffy, moist, and have the best consistency. Believe me, I’ve tried out a few recipes that didn’t rise well enough and didn’t have that signature red velvet, vibrant, red colour.

At first bite, the pillowy soft texture is surprising, followed by a rich chocolate flavour, highlighted by the sweetness of the overall dish. The thing I find the most interesting about red velvet is that it is a contrast of flavours: sweet and sour. Although this amazing recipe it is mostly sweet, the sourness is mainly due to the buttermilk you need to add to the batter.

These pancakes go very well with the whipped cream cheese butter, which, like the pancakes itself, is a great combination of sweet and sour. Sweet, from the powdered sugar, followed by hints of sour from the cream cheese.

Sweet and sour.

What a strange combo for breakfast—or any meal for that matter.

But it just works.

I’m absolutely sure you will love these red velvet stacks. Check out the recipe below!
