best pancakes ever!

Published Sep 8, 2007
Views: 703

Saturday morning at my house means one thing ... pancakes! A couple of years ago, I pimped up a recipe that my late father-in-law used, and now we think it's unparalleled. My boys prefer Aunt Jemimah syrup, while I use organic maple syrup. My husband likes canteloupe sliced on the side, while I like strawberries or blueberries spooned over the top. My son just likes them au natural, drizzled in syrup. We have great conversation, plan the weekend, and in general just enjoy each others company. Got any Saturday morning routines?

Here's the recipe:

  • 1-1/4 cup flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or veggie oil)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 1/8 tsp almond or orange extract 

Whisk all ingredients until smooth, then cook on a heated griddle. Yum-ola!

That sounds so good. I love that you take the time to enjoy it when the family is together. That is hard to do for a lot of families. Bless you for that. I am going to try your recipe, thanks.

Dolly- I think i'm going to do away with the Hungry Jack and use your recipe from now on Saturday mornings. Sunday is omelet day for me-

Yogi Special -

This makes one omelet

2 eggs bell pepper diced- usually about 1/4 of a pepper works bacon crumbled or chopped virginia baked ham chopped onion colby-jack cheese if i'm in the mood i add fresh diced jalapeno pepper

saute onion and pepper in small amt of butter or spray oil for 2-3 minutes over med. heat

Whip 2 eggs in a bowl to incorporate plenty of air- this will help the eggs fluff a little

pour the eggs into a med-low round small round spray oiled pan(nonstick pan works the best.) as the eggs start to cook take a rubber spatula and lift the edges so the runny egg in the middle can run to the side and get cooked

3/4 way through usually about 2 minutes add the cheese onion/pepper mixture and meat of your choice- flip over to make the "omelet"

enjoy!

I am going to try your recipe next weekend. I am on a diet but we splurge once every weekend. Maybe this will be my one splurge lol...Thanks for sharing.

Snarf, gulp, smack...um all these recipes are yummy.

Yogi, we'll try your omelet tomorrow ... sans cheese for me. And Baby, for the diet (good for you, by the way), my husband may have 3 or 4, but I make a handful of silver dollar size pancakes for my son, and I only have 2. The rest we freeze and then can heat up during the week. It's healthier (less preservatives, no partially hydrogenated oil, etc.) than Eggos. That way, you won't feel like you have to eat them all and they won't go to waste.

That recipe sounds delicious!! I love pancakes, I just haven't had them in a long time. I, too, love organic maple syrup! I'm getting hungry, just reading that recipe!!

:-)

Just printed the pancake recipe. Yum! And Yogi, I also love Virginia ham (specifically) and will try your omelet too.

My grandma had a very simple pancake recipe that she took with her when she died. She only used flour and water. I never saw her put anything else in there but they were the best pancakes ever. She came up in the depression and learned how to get by with only the basic necessities. Besides pancakes, she always made the best fried chicken you ever tasted. She cooked without written recipes. She had everything in her head. I miss her cooking, but more than anything I miss her hugs.

If you are interested in The Best Pancakes...yet don't want to mess with a recipe, my brother and I make Daddy Cakes® "Just Add Water" Pancake Mixes with available 9 flavors. We use quality ingredients including Real Wild Maine Blueberries and have several organic mixes as well. Four of our mixes come in a retro embossed metal tin. http://www.DaddyCakesBakery.com Have Fun!
