It may seem silly for me to post a recipe for pancakes, but I'm going to anyway. When I was little the only pancakes I liked were Bisquick pancakes. But then we moved to China and Bisquick was not exactly on the shelves of Chinese grocery stores. So we went to making pancakes from scratch, just like we had to make flour tortillas and salsa and spaghetti sauce and everything else from scratch. Now these are the only pancakes I will eat. It's worth the little bit of extra effort for delicious pancakes! Happy Monday!
Favorite Pancakes
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
optional: blueberries, chocolate chips, or other add-ins
Beat egg; add remaining ingredients in order listed and whisk until smooth. Grease heated griddle if necessary. Pour batter onto hot griddle. (If adding fruit or chocolate chips, sprinkle onto the batter before turning pancakes.) Turn pancakes when they are puffed and full of bubbles but before bubbles break. Bake other side until golden brown. Makes ten 4-inch pancakes.
