Sweet Surrender Buttermilk Pancakes

These buttermilk pancakes are the perfect way to start your day. They're fluffy, tender, and packed with flavor. The secret to their amazing texture is the addition of vegan buttermilk, which gives them a slightly tangy flavor and helps them to rise beautifully. Served with warm maple syrup and a pat of vegan butter, these pancakes are sure to become a family favorite.

The history of buttermilk pancakes is a long and winding one. Some say that they originated in the American South, where enslaved Africans used buttermilk to make a type of flatbread called hoecakes. Over time, these hoecakes evolved into the pancakes we know and love today. Buttermilk pancakes were a staple food for many families in the early days of the United States, and they remain a popular breakfast dish today.
