I have been on a quest as of late. I have all this flour for my food storage, but what use is it to me if I don't use it on a regular basis. The girls LOVE pancakes (aka panekoeken). Actually to say LOVE would be an understatement to say the least, we eat them every other day for breakfast. While I do not profess myself to be the "suzy homemaker, whipping up loads of bread whilst simultaneously sewing my kids Halloween costumes and scrapbooking my brains out" kind of Mom, there are some things that I like to make from scratch. Pancakes being one of them. I went through about a dozen pancake recipes, searching for one that would provide the same results as a mix you would get in the store. All of them were flat and or flavorless. Not the fluffy, soft and yummy ones I was looking for..
I inquired to people, asking for good recipes. I quite frequently got the response of "Ya I know a good pancake mix... it's the kind you buy from {costco, grocery store, etc}. All I have to say to those people is....
Booya suckers! I have a kick butt pancake recipe! And it is from scratch! And it is so easy! It is the recipe my Mom used when making pancakes for us when we were but wee little ones.
Bianca is a tad cranky this morning... it has been REAL fun...
I guess we aren't really morning people around here...
My camera sucks, big time. My pictures always turn out blurry (hazards of small, wiggly children). I even have been implementing the photography helps I have learned from here. She is fabulous, and an amazing photographer. I know I probably couldn't get to her level, you can only learn so much which is where natural talent comes into play... but still frustrating for trying to document your children's childhood. Hence my desire for a new camera!

Anyhoo, here is my yummy, fluffy pancake recipe. Using a 1/4 c. measure to spoon out the pancakes, it makes about 8 or so. I just keep the leftovers in a Ziploc bag on the counter and toast for the next morning.
Childhood Pancakes from my Momma
1 egg
1 c. flour
3/4 c. milk
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ones, mix until just combined and scoop with 1/4 c. into your pan. Makes 8.
*If using whole wheat flour then just add a little less flour.
*use any kind of sugar (brown, white, etc).

You are the chef I wish I was!
i am SO excited! i have been looking for a pancake recipe too... since there's no such thing as bisquick over here (at least i haven't found it), so i've been searching. i can't wait to try it!
they look so yummy I too love pancakes but I am sure once I subbed flax for the egg and soy mild for the milk they wouldn't taste the same, nothing ever does:) it's ok though cause we wake up hungry NOW! I don't think I would have the time to make it without screaming kids. but toasting them is a great idea. maybe a saturday I will try the substitutions .
my recipe looks similar except for the sweet potato puree that's thrown in with a little bit of cinnamon!
Now that's booyah delish!!
Hmmmmm... me thinks I might be pulling an "Anna" tomorrow and get fancy with my pancakes!!
Thanks Vashti! Spencer has been on a pancake kick lately. We will have to try your recipe.
Love, love Bianca's morning hairdo! We love getting creative with pancakes around here too! I seldom buy milk so I use yogurt instead of milk in my pancakes and they turn out so so fluffy and good!
