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 about 4 inches. If using fruit or nuts, place them on top of the batter immediately. Cook
until bubbles pop on the top of the pancake and they start to dry around the edges. They should be 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.
