Pancakes

I don't know about you guys but I love pancakes. Today I am going to tell you how to make pancakes. This recipe is from a cookbook called "Better Homes and Garden" it is another source I use to get a lot of my recipes. So to start out you need to make sure that you have:

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
 1 egg
1 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of cooking oil

To start out you put all of your dry ingredient into a bowl and mix them up. Now when you mix up your dry ingredients you should put it through a sifter to evenly mix up your dry ingredients but I find that this takes up time so I put the ingredients into the bowl one at a time and use a whisk to mix the ingredients up after I add each one.


Now it's time to add the liquids. There's no special way you should add the liquids but sometimes it helps if you mix up your egg before you put it in with the rest of the ingredients if they are cold.

When you're done mixing everything up it's time to cook your pancakes. Depending on what size of scoop you're using you will get a different amount of pancakes. I prefer to use a 1/4 cup scoop because I think that it makes the perfect size of pancake. Your griddle should be at about 400 degrees and if you're not sure whether it’s hot enough just drop some water on it and if it sizzles out the griddle is hot enough. When cooking your pancakes people say to flip them when all the bubbles on the top have popped but I just carefully lift one edge of the pancake up to see if it is golden brown.

These pancakes are kind of bland so if you added some cinnamon or another sweet tasting spice it should make them taste great.

You will get 8-10 pancakes if you use the 1/4 cup scoop to scoop your batter with.
