If you give a girl a pancake...

Posted in Eating
...chances are she'll want at least 4 more, even if she's not yet two years old! Yikes! I have some serious pancake hounds in my house and up until tonight I have been more of a waffle gal. I have several waffles recipes tweaked to perfection but have never made very good pancakes. Now I finally have a "perfect" pancake recipe (quote: my handsome husband)

Without further ado, here it is, in case some of you are stuck in waffle-land with a houseful of pancake fiends.

Basic Pancakes
2 cups freshly ground soft white wheat flour
1.5 T baking powder
1/2 t salt
2 T sugar 1 or 2 eggs
1.5-2 cups milk
2 melted butter, cooled
expeller pressed coconut oil for the griddle

Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly with a wire whisk in a large bowl. Beat the eggs into 1.5 cups of the milk in a separate bowl. Slowly add the cooled butter. Gently add the liquids to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.  Some lumps are ok.
You probably won't need to oil a nonstick griddle but mine is cast iron so I add about a teaspoon of coconut oil before each batch of pancakes. I keep my stove down pretty low, lower than I would have thought. I only burned one batch before I figured it out :) Cook until the bubbles start to break on the surface, then flip and cook until the bottoms are lightly browned.
Keep on a warm plate in a 225 degree oven for up to 15 minutes.

It's always fun to find a new recipe to try. I make my pancakes with brown rice flour because I'm wheat sensitive, but they turn out nicely. Glad to have you here at Homestead Blogger. I hope you'll tell us about the mountain where you live! Blessings from the Big Sky Country.........Denise (prairiemom)
