Breakfast for Dinner?

I love doing this. Really... and we've been looking for a good reason to break out Sam's cast iron griddle.



Jess's Mom's Awesome Buttermilk Pancakes

What We Used

• 2 cups of buttermilk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs (separated)

We sifted the dry ingredients first, then added the buttermilk and stirred until smooth. Once it was smooth, we added the egg yolks and melted butter. If the mix is too glue like at this stage, you can hit it with a shot of regular milk to thin it up a bit.

We heated up the griddle, and while it was getting ready, we beat the egg whites until they could hold soft peaks. Right before we were ready to cook, the egg whites were folded in.

An easy way to tell when it's time to flip your pancake is when it starts bubbling slightly. And don't worry... the first one is almost always ugly.

Huckleberry Compote

What We Used

• 1 1/2 - 2 cups huckleberries
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• splash of parrot bay coconut rum
• 1 tbsp vanilla

Sam combined all the ingredients in a pot over medium low heat and simmered until it reached the consistancy of a sauce. There was also a random pine needle in our sauce... which just shows how fresh the huckleberries were.
