Well, because it makes awesome pancakes and it's part of my collection, duh. Tess and I make these pancakes almost every single weekend. I absolutely love, love, love starting the weekend off by getting into the kitchen and making breakfast for the fam. We started going to church on Saturday nights awhile back just so we could have an extra morning together as a family! I usually get a chair out for Tess so she can help me measure the ingredients - and her favorite - crack the egg. (I have learned to do this in a separate bowl to avoid crunchy pancakes.) Lately, Jake will come into the kitchen, dragging a chair behind him - "Help, mommy, help!" (cutest thing ever). So now Nate gets to enjoy his weekend morning coffee sans Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or any other distraction.
These pancakes are a sure thing. They are flavorful and most importantly, fluffy! No thin, weak pancakes here. This batter holds up so nicely with anything you may want to add to them. This past weekend we added chocolate chips. :-)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in milk and egg. Then add melted butter and vanilla, mix until smooth. (Mix it up - add chocolate chips and bananas - or whatever you have on hand!)
I don't know if I have to tell you how to cook a pancake from here...but here goes anyway. Heat a lightly greased frying pan or griddle to medium-high heat. Scoop or pour batter onto the griddle or pan. When pancake bubbles and bubbles stick, flip and brown. OMG, I cannot believe I am typing out this part. :-)
This recipe makes just enough for the 4 of us. If you are feeding more then 2 big people and 2 little people, you may want to double the recipe.
Enjoy yo!
(no picture this time - imagine a pancake - there you go.)
