Growing up my dad was the one who would make us breakfast and get us off to school. On the weekends he would make us pancakes. I still love his pancakes- straight from the mix, all the same size, hot off the griddle with homemade syrup! love them!
So tonight whip out the pancake mix and celebrate PANCAKE DAY! (Steph's kids will be in heaven). To spice it up gather a few extra ingredients and drop them onto the pancake after you pour batter onto the griddle before it is ready to flip.
Everyone can have their favorite mix in.
The kids love: chocolate chips, blueberries, and m&ms.
Dan & my new favorite is apple cinnamon pancakes:
Peal and dice apples into small pieces, cook in a small saute pan on the stove until the apples are soft, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and then drop the apples onto the batter as above.
NO mix (or feeling adventurous) NO Problem
Light and Fluffy Pancakes
1 ½ cups flour
3 ½ t baking powder
1 t salt
1T sugar
1 ¼ cup milk
1 egg
3 T butter melted (unsalted if you have it, or omit the salt)1/2 t vanilla
Hints: they will be lighter and fluffier if you sift the dry ingredients twice and let the egg and milk sit at room temp, and don't smash or pat the pancake after you flip!
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter and vanilla; mix until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat (350-375). Pour the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. (add your mix ins) wait for the bubbles and then flip to the other side. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings.
Stackers Pancakes (more like the ones my dad used to make)
1 c. flour
