Pancakes

Growing up my mom would make pancakes on the weekends because she worked full-time during the week. She would use Bisquick and that is the only way I knew how to make them. My ex was not impressed with these pancakes and his mother gave me the recipe she used to make pancakes from scratch. What a novelty!

I checked in the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book and found a recipe for pancakes. Shockingly this was not some secret that pancakes can be made from scratch and not a baking mix. I prefer the recipe I'm going to share with you to any baking mix (sorry Mom). I have also mixed up the dry ingredients for 10 batches or so ahead of time. I then measure out the total dry ingredients called for in the recipe and add the remaining ingredients.

Pancakes

In a large bowl or measuring cup with a spout, combine the following.

1 cup flour

1 tbs sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

In a separate bowl, combine

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

2 tbs cooking oil (I use applesauce)

Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until blended but slightly lumpy. Pour about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter onto a heated griddle. Flip pancakes after top is completely bubbly. Finished when edges are dry and bottom is golden. I like to put chocolate chips over batter when it is first poured onto griddle.

ETA: The batter can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge. This is also an easy recipe to double, triple, etc. I usually double it. If we won't eat the extras with in a couple of days, I individually wrap each pancake in plastic wrap and store in a large freezer bag (in the freezer : ) ).
