As I've mentioned before, my family is known for their generations-old buttermilk pancake recipe. This is NOT that recipe. The batter for Cottage Pancakes is smooth, rich, and thick. It comes together in no time at all, and makes for very light pancakes.
When Lala would make me pancakes, and I really don't remember her making them for me beyond the age of 6, she would start out making drop size pancakes and they would gradually get larger from there. As a young girl, this was one of my favorite moments with Lala, I would be at the kitchen table, we'd chat while she was at the stove.
To make this recipe, you'll first want to gather all your ingredients. While your butter melts (stove top or microwave, your choice), add all the other ingredients to your blender. Once the butter is melted, place the cap on your blender, and slowly pour the butter through the opening of the lid while the blender mixes everything together. Once blended smooth, you're ready to make your pancakes.
You should make these in the same way you'd make boxed pancake mix, from scratch pancakes, or anything else made on a griddle. Using a small amount of butter or oil (enough to skim the bottom of the pan), then place batter in the hot pan (a medium heat should be plenty). Once your batter begins to bubble AND the bubbles start to pop, it's time to flip the pancakes over.
You can serve these however you like, my family prefers butter and syrup but on the rare occasion we're out of syrup, preserves are an excellent stand in.
In the photo above, I'm sitting in the same kitchen where Lala would make me pancakes. I just lost my first tooth in this picture. And I was wearing the most awesome Care Bears pajamas known to the 1980's/ever made.
