Tender and a little tangy, buttermilk pancakes are a classic for a reason.

It's easy to make a quick ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing if you have buttermilk on hand, and they taste so much better than the bottled stuff.

The tartness of buttermilk makes ice cream and milkshakes even more refreshing.

It's not an every day sort of meal, but this combo is hard to beat and it's a great way to use up extra buttermilk.
