Old Fashioned Pancake Recipe

Mmmmm I love pancakes! Growing up, my dad made a big pancake breakfast twice a month. We would have eggs, sausage, and fluffy-crispyedged-yummy-pancakes. Naturally now that I have a family of my own, I'd like to make pancakes for them too. 

When my husband and I married, I knew it was time my dad would finally teach me his recipe. No such luck! Apparently it's a dad thing and since we didn't have kids and I wasn't a dude (still not a dude lol), I was doomed to never know his secret. Over the years I have tried many a recipe and they all seem to fall short, until now. Now my pancakes are not like my dad's but they are delicious :)

So here we go...

Old Fashioned Pancakes

1 1/2 C flour

1 tbs baking powder

1/4 C sugar

1 tsp salt

1/4 C oil +extra for griddle

2 eggs 

1 C milk

1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients and set aside.

Whisk wet ingredients and stir in dry.

Heat griddle to 350F and and brush with a small amount of oil. You can use cooking spray but you won't get those crispy edges that everyone fights over :).

Pour the batter and cook until top is bubbling and edges are golden. Then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. 

I also make 2 inch mini cakes for the little ones in the house. 

This recipe is small-ish and only makes about 8 med-large pancakes. It can be doubled and sometimes I'll do that and freeze the leftovers for later in the week.

Mmmm I usually only make these once a month and we all looki for to pancake day :)
