yummy homemade pancakes

On Friday night I crashed at my friend's apartment, and in the morning we were trying to think of what to have for breakfast.  Neither one of us wanted to spend money, and we were pretty hungry.  My friend suggested we make pancakes, and I think it was one of the best ideas she's ever had.  Homemade pancakes are so simple to make, and I don't see why people buy all these box mixes.  Try making homemade pancakes and I swear you will never go back to pre-made batters or boxed mixes ever again.  This recipe yields more than enough pancakes for two people.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

a pinch of salt

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 egg

1 1/4-1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions: 

1) In a large bowl whisk together all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugar) and make a well in the center.

2) Pour the milk and egg into the center of the well and gradually whisk in the dry to incorporate.

3) Allow the batter to rest 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.

4) Heat a frying pan or griddle on medium heat and add butter.  Pour the batter into the pan and flip them when you see bubbles appearing on the top of the pancake.   Serve hot.

tips:  

-start with 1 1/4 cups of milk but add more if the batter is too thick after resting in the fridge. 

- do not overmix the batter.  It will be a little lumpy but that's OK.  Better than having bricks for pancakes.
