Pancakes

The Better Homes and Gardens cookbook has a beautiful pancake recipe that my grandmother used for years, and that I use now. Here's a link to the recipe: http://recipes.bhg.com/recipes/recipedetail.jsp?recipeId=R027843&searchResults=true&showSearchNav=true&recipeNumber=20&resultCategory=kitchen&searchType=null&adCategory=&_requestid=115125 There are also a LOT of other pancake recipes at the site.

Pancakes (the mix of these dry ingredients makes 2 batches of pancakes so use 1/2 and store the other half for next time) 2 cups all-purpose flour 5 teaspoons baking powder 4 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt Combine 1/2 of mix with: 1 egg, 1/4 C. vegetable oil 1 C. milk Stir until well combined. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.

Here is a recipe website that I swear by: http://allrecipes.com/Search/Recipes.aspx?WithTerm=pancakes It has over 200 recipes for different flavored pancakes. Just think, you could have a new recipe to try for almost everyday of the year. Each recipe gives review by other persons who have tried the recipe and what they changed. It is a terrific tool and has helped me on many a night on what to make for dinner. give the site a try and enjoy a few of the lip smacking recipes. don't forget to mark your best response. Oh yeah, here is my favorite recipe too! Fluffy Pancakes INGREDIENTS: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup shortening, melted DIRECTIONS: 1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the egg, milk and shortening; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. 2. Pour batter by 1/4 cupful onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes; cook until the second side is golden brown.

Well, American pancakes are apparently completely different from the ones I'm used to, but basically it's just (self-rising) flour, eggs and milk all mixed together, with little salt and sugar too. (2 to 3 times more milk than flour, and one to twe eggs)
