There is nothing quite as wonderful on a lazy Sunday as fresh, homemade pancakes. And they are actually quite easy to make. Just four dry ingredients plus four wet, and maybe some chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts. This would also be a great Christmas morning breakfast or brunch. Total time required is roughly 20 minutes. This recipe makes about 10 hotcakes.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 whole egg
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp vanilla
Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips, fruit, nuts, oats, etc.
Step 1: Mix the first four dry ingredients in a large bowl. (Add whatever extras you like).
Step 2: Mix the next four wet ingredients into the dry. If you want to, you can set this aside for 10-20 minutes to shower or watch the news or brew some coffee.
Step 3: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Pour in about 1/3 cup batter per cake. Cook until batter shows bubbles, about 4 minutes.
Step 4: Flip the cakes when golden brown and cook another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with syrup, preserves, whipped cream, honey, or whatever you like on your pancakes.
This recipe produced light and fluffy cakes with the perfect amount of sweetness. I'm pretty proud of this batch I must say. Try making your own Pineapple Pancake Syrup to go with them.
