Recipe Updates

I am feeling super under the weather but that's not stopping me from continuing on this blog challenge I have dove into to help improve my blogging. And with my new latest addiction of planning and what not I am able to be more in tune to my blog then before. It's helpful when here are those times when I feel like I have nothing to write about but now I just open my brain dump and look for all the topics I have jotted and it gives me a sudden wind of inspiration. I am content with it all.

These are previous recipes but I will try to post more once I am officially well and not still having a stuffy nose and headache baring down on me. I have posted that got lost in the shuffle of hardly being read. Hope if you try any of my recipes that you tag me on instagram @fourxblessed.

Homemade Pancakes From Scartch oh so easy!

Sometimes it's always good to get in the kitchen and not pull out the generic box of pancake mix that you just add water (yuck). Today I opted in making my own pancake mix and  I was so shocked at how simple, quick and easy it is to make. This is a fun thing to do with your older kids if they like to help mommy/daddy in the kitchen. Who says we can't use the extra lil' helping hands anyway?

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

1. 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.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
3. 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).
4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
5. 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)
6. Cook the first side until bubbles have formed uniformly over the top surface. Flip, and cook the 2nd side for about 2 minutes.
7. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Enjoy your pancakes!
