Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes with Honey & Vanilla Butter

We are getting down to the end of our strawberries for this year.   We are only getting about a handful a day now.  Not quite enough to make jam or a pie, but good enough for tasty little treats like these fabulous pancakes that I made for our breakfast.

This recipe is an old favourite from one of my favourite cookbooks, The Great British Farmhouse Cookbook, by Sarah Mayor.  It’s one of my favourite books, and these pancakes are one of the reasons why.

And not the least because of the Vanilla Honey Butter that you make to go along with the pancakes.  Oh my . . . is it ever good.   I always have a pot of this tasty butter in my fridge because it is so incredibly tasty.   We even had it on toast for our supper last night.   We just could not get enough of it.  Even if you don’t make the pancakes . . . you simply MUST make the butter!  *slurp*

The original recipe doesn’t call for strawberries, they were my idea.  You could just as easily use blueberries, or blackberries or whatever berry you have to hand, or no berries.   It’s your choice!

They were rather scrummy if I don’t say so myself.   The butter made them even more so.   I even crumbled up some meringues in the last few to make . . . dare I say it . . . I must for they were fab . . .
