Basic Pancake Recipe
Today, we use pancake mix, but back in Grandma’s day, they made pancakes from scratch. This recipe is similar to the one she used:
2 cups flour
2 cups milk
2 eggs (beaten)
1/3 cup butter (melted)
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Makes approximately 8 pancakes
In a large bowl combine flour, milk, beaten eggs, 1/3 cup melted butter, sugar, baking powder and salt until just blended. Preheat lightly greased griddle or frying pan. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into pan per pancake. Cook until pancakes begin to bubble. Flip once and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve with maple syrup, jam or fruit.
* This is a basic, easy pancake recipe you can easily vary. Try adding fresh cut fruit or chocolate chips to the batter for variation.
When you decide you’d like to make pancakes from scratch you’ll want to make sure your kitchen is clean and tidy before you start. One way to help you get organized is by using a kitchen cart. A kitchen cart is a cart on wheels that you can move about your kitchen as you’re preparing food. If you don’t like the idea of a mobile kitchen platform you could always get a kitchen island which is secured to the floor.
