Buttermilk Pancakes with Amazing Buttermilk Syrup

I think I have mentioned this before, but the older I get the more I totally LOVE pancakes! And homemade ones and homemade syrup are the best kind. We regularly have what we call "Upside dinner" or "Breakfast dinner" or "Brinner" = Breakfast for dinner. One of our family's faves.

INGREDIENTS
 2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
3 cups buttermilk
4 Tbsp. butter melted . .

AMAZING BUTTERMILK SYRUP
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS
 In a large bowl, sift flour baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar together. Add eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Whisk until well combined. Cook on skillet or griddle until golden brown on both sides.
To make syrup: Combine butter, sugar and buttermilk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves. Then remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Stir to combine. Syrup will foam up, but that is part of what makes it SO incredible. Don't be alarmed by that.

Crepes

My husband loves Crepes. One of his favorite breakfast foods of all time. I am not "crazy" about them. I like them, but it isn't on my list of favorites. But, he requested Crepes for his birthday breakfast a few weeks ago, so I hit up some of my favorite recipe blogs for a good Crepe recipe!! I found a really good one on The Sisters Cafe. AND...made a DELICIOUS Coconut Syrup I found on their blog too!!!! The syrup has definitely become my new favorite syrup!!! My kids love to put yogurt in their crepes with chocolate syrup, powdered sugar and whipped cream on top. The husband likes to try everything on his crepes....me, I did nothing but pour some heavenly Coconut Syrup on mine....sigh.

1 ½ c. flour
1 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 c. warm milk
2 eggs
½ tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp melted butter

Mix all ingredients together. Pour a small amount on a hot skillet and swirl it around to thin it out. Cook until nearly golden and then flip. Serve with Coconut Syrup (recipe to follow) or your favorite toppings/fillings.

Coconut Syrup
(also from (The Sisters Cafe)

7-8 T. butter
¾ c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a pot. Then turn stove on medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute. Remove from heat and add soda and flavoring. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the ‘fizz’ to reduce before serving. So, so delicious!!!!! I can't even truly convey how divine this syrup is!!!! Seriously.
