A nice change from our usual breakfast. The buttermilk certainly gives the pancakes a light texture and we found they went really well with the yoghurt and oranges. Next time I would increase the cinamon slightly. Maybe even double it. These were also tasty cold, as I took the left overs to work for lunch and ate them naked. The pancakes that is!!
