You might be asking yourself "What do pictures of the cabin have to do with National Pancake Day?" Well, I'll be happy to tell you. My first memory of Daddy's famous buttermilk pancakes were cooked on that woodstove in the cabin. I have such great memories of awaking in the morning to the sound of Devil's Creek and the smell of bacon and buttermilk pancakes.The love of those buttermilk pancakes has been passed on to my children. They became very familiar with them while staying at Grandma and Grandpa's. Now, whenever we take vacations together, they always ask if we can have Grandpa's pancakes for breakfast. So, in honor of National Pancake Day and my daddy who made them many times in "Cleo's Kitchen", I'm posting Daddy's/Grandpa's famous buttermilk pancakes recipe.
