This Week's Recipe: The Perfect Pancake

The Perfect Pancake

 This is a perfect recipe to try with the kids and allow them to help.  My daughter loves helping me cook:

Ingredients

1/4 c. of milk

2 tsp. of vanilla

3 tbsp. of butter, melted or vegetable oil

2 tsp. of baking powder

2 tbsp. of sugar

1 1/2 c. of all-purpose flour

3/4 tsp. of salt

2 large eggs

Directions

First beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, approx 3 minute at high speed in a mixer.

Stir in butter or oil.

Whisk the dry ingredients together and gently, but quickly, mix into the egg and milk mixture.

Let the batter rest while griddle is heating (or overnight in refrig.) The batter will thicken while resting.

Preheat non-stick griddle.

Drop ¼ cup of the batter on the lightly greased griddle.

Cook on one side until bubbles begin to form and break (this is the time to add anything like berries, choc. Chips, etc), then flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden (turning only once).
