You can enjoy these pancakes all year round, but we developed them as a treat to coincide with the celebration of George Washington's birthday. They're so tasty you'll be glad he didn't chop down all the cherry trees! Frozen sour cherries go wonderfully with these hearty buttermilk pancakes. They take just 15 minutes to make and are a delightful twist on the classic oatmeal-raisin combination. If you've never had sour cherries before, you'll soon learn to realize why we're obsessed with them and want to use them with pretty much everything. During the summertime, when they're in season, top these pancakes with fresh sour cherries for an even more decadent treat.
