After completing the P90X Yoga X DVD, it seemed as though I was quite deserving of a stack of fluffy pancakes. What other reason do we work out than to be able to enjoy all the good food in life? Oh right health, yea that too.

If I needed any more excuses to eat pancakes, I needed to use the buttermilk leftover in my refrigerator in preparation for holiday vacation. Done deal. Throw some bacon on my plate while we’re at it.

I’ve been asked more than once how I get such perfectly golden pancakes. The secret? Use a nonstick griddle/skillet and don’t grease it! The oil leaves all those spots you get when doing so.

I’m not sure of the original source of this recipe but I got it from none other than my father the pancake king. In fact, a significant portion of the pancakes on my blog are from him, or at the least adapted from a recipe of his:

• Applesauce-Sweet Potato Pancakes
• Greek Yogurt-Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
• Pineapple Pancakes with Honey Greek Yogurt Topping
• Pumpkin Pancakes
• Surprise Flapjacks
• Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes
