Here's the recipe I used below and I hope you enjoy making it and that the kiddies enjoy eating em cuz who doesn't love pancakes?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsps baking powder (Quick Pro-tip: If this stuff has been sitting aroundtoo long, you'll get flat pancakes).
- 1 tsp salt *
- 1 tbs granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups Milk (Note: I use whole milk, but 2% works as well. I've never tried this recipe with 1% or skim, so I don't know if the much lower fat content has any effect)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbs butter, melted
* Don't worry, these don't taste salty. Salt helps make the insides fluffy. Science!
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients -- the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Or, just dump everything in there. Lumps in the batter actually make for better pancakes.
- Mix the dry ingredients
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until just combined. Don't worry about lumps (see above).
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Note: If you want a lot of little pancakes, use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. If you want fewer large pancakes, use about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake. Or use any amount inbetween or above or below. They're your pancakes. Go nuts (But don't put nuts in them. Well, unless you want to)
- Cook the first side until bubbles have formed uniformly over the top surface. Flip, and cook the 2nd side for about 2 minutes.
- Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Enjoy your pancakes!
