irish pancakes
This recipe is from Irelandseye.com. These are also called Scotch Pancakes in Northern Ireland. They must be cooked as soon as possible after mixing, as the acid in the Pancakes, buttermilk, starts to react with the baking soda at once. For that reason the griddle or pan should be heated before combining the ingredients.
