Harrington House Famous Buttermilk Pancake Sundae
Makes 12-16 pancakes
Combine together:
2 Cups flour
2 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Heaping teaspoons baking powder
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1 Teaspoon salt
In separate bowl combine:
2 Eggs
2 Cups buttermilk
4 Tablespoons oil
Add liquid to dry ingredients and blend until flour is moistened but slightly lumpy. The secret? Don’t over mix the batter. Lightly grease the pre-heated griddle, scoop 1/4 level cup of batter, pour batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on batter and then flip over.
Building the Pancake Sundae:
Lay first pancake on the plate, add about 1 large strawberry sliced on top of the pancake.
Add second pancake on top of the strawberries, and then add either fresh pineapple or 1/2 of a sliced banana. Top third pancake with about 1 large sliced strawberry. Garnish with fresh whip cream, and drizzle with Raspberry Melba sauce on top of the pancake sundae.
