Need to use up some buttermilk......

[nissenpa]

give me your best pancake recipe.

Or suggestions for what to do in the day with about a cup and a half of whole milk buttermilk.

Boy, isn't that a problem, though? One thing I miss about Nashville is that I could get pints of buttermilk there...

I don't do pancakes, but you have enough for a nice batch of cornbread or biscuits. You could also make some killer fried chicken: whisk a big dollop of Tabasco into buttermilk in a big bowl, and put your cut-up chicken in to soak for anywhere from six hours to twenty-four. Shake off the excess, dredge in seasoned flour and follow your favorite chicken-frying method. Works especially well to tenderize a more mature bird (like a big roaster) for frying.

Another chicken-based notion, especially since it's winter after all, is to make a chicken stew and then make up a batch of dough as for drop biscuits (that is, too moist to roll out) and use that for dumplings.

This tart is wonderful. It only needs a cup but you could make some biscuits with the other half cup.

There have been several threads in the past few months on what to do with extra buttermilk. Here are the links for some more ideas:

my mom used to always make a good cold buttermilk & shrimp soup (mostly a summer dish)
i don't have her recipe but this one looks similar.

Here is a recipe for the best dang pancake's I've ever had anywhere. It's from Good Eats episde, "Flap jack, do it again." Once you make the "instant mix," it's pretty quick to whip up. I actually buy buttermilk just to make these every couple weeks or so.

One other cool thing I've done with extra is make a yummy buttermilk and orange sherbet (?) I believe it was called--in the Gourmet cookbook, or you could look on epicurious.com
The chicken ideas sound fabulous, too.

These biscuits are fantastic: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec... -- warning, they're addictive. I've never added the scallions, but those would be great if you were serving it with chili.
