Saturday Morning Pancakes

November 7th, 2009

Did you know you can make pancakes without using Bisquick? Honestly, I didn’t. Until I wanted pancakes Saturday morning and realized I didn’t have any Bisquick. (And how does that happen anyway?) So I found a recipe online and tweaked it.

Single Serving Pancakes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk (substitute 1 Tbsp. White Vinegar in 1 cup of milk)
1 teaspoons vegetable oil
Butter and maple syrup

Directions:

To make a buttermilk substitute, place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line. Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add egg, buttermilk and oil. Stir until blended.
Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot pan; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Serve with butter and syrup. Yield: 1 serving (3 pancakes).

These were delicious. They made big fluffy restaurant style pancakes and were so tasty with my pure maple syrup! Definitely a keeper recipe, since my husband doesn’t like pancakes. Just enough for me. Though I left a few bites for J, and even he said they were good!
