Southern Living, Nov. 2007

Buttermillk Pancakes

2 cups all-purpose baking mix
2 cups buttermilk
1 egg

Whisk together baking mix, buttermilk, and egg in a bowl. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or large nonstick skillet. Cook pancakes 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked; turn and cook other side. Spoon on Fresh Pear-Cinnamon Topping, and serve immediately. Makes about 14 pancakes.

Pear-Cinnamon Topping

4 pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon butter

Toss pears with fresh lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; sauté pear mixture, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Note: We used Comice pears. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
