Pancakes
I know a lot of
pancake mixes are on the market and they are just fine. But homemade
pancakes are so simple to make that I don't see any reason to use a
package mix. At least with homemade pancakes you know exactly what
ingredients are in them and to me they simply taste better. Add any
fruit or nuts. Blueberries are excellent!
Preparation Time: 30 minutes Serving Size: (12) 4-inch
pancakes
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
|
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)

In a medium mixing bowl combine flour,
sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Measure buttermilk in a 2 cup
measuring cup. Add egg and mix slightly. Pour into flour mixture. Add
vanilla extract and oil to the bowl and mix well to combine. Heat a skillet
over medium heat. Place a teaspoon of vegetable oil on heated skillet. Use a
1/4 cup measurer to pour as many pancakes that will fit onto the skillet.
The mix will spread into about 4 inches. If using fruit or nuts, place them
on top of the batter immediately. Cook until bubbles pop on top and they
start to dry around the edges and turn golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook
until golden brown on this side. Continue until all mix is used. Serve with
butter and real dark amber maple syrup. Your favorite cooked sausage links
are also good accompaniments. |
