Pancakes
Abby really wanted pancakes this morning, I looked online to find a good recipe, and came upon this one, taken from an old family cook book of whomever the poster on the website was. She made them with me while Zoë and Daddy were still sleeping. (Zoë was up in the wee hours again) There were a couple of comments on the website from people who had tried the recipe and modified it a little. Everyone said that the batter made super good pancakes, so we gave it a try, following some tips from the first commenter. Here's how the recipe went on the site:
11/2 cups all-purpose flour
31/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (I used 3/4 of a teaspoon, per recommendations)
1 Tablespoon sugar
11/4 cups milk (warmed so as not to coagulate the melted butter when added to it - I ended up needing 1/4 cup more warm milk, as did most others who commented)
1 egg (tip said to let it get to room temperature)
3 Tablespoons melted butter
I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla (another tip)
It said to mix the dry ingredients, then make a well and put the wet ingredients into it and mix. From the tips, Abby and I mixed the dry, then the wet in a separate bowl, then made the well in the flour mixture and added the wet to it. We used a whisk to combine. The commenter with all of the tips also said that she let her mix sit for 10 minutes, but we just let is sit while we got the pan ready. I lightly greased the pan and warmed it over medium high heat, then adding the batter in 1/4 cup fulls. We did the first pancake to taste, perfect and fluffy, nice with syrup. Then Abby thought adding chocolate chips to the batter would be good, so I sprinkled some in. Next time I think we'll do blueberries, although the chocolate chips were melty and delicious! This made about 8 regular sized pancakes (with the 1/4 cup of batter) and another larger one at the end. When Zoë woke up, she enjoyed her pancakes with cool whip, which Abby had already tried, and Abby tried one with peanut butter. Very yummy smelling. We had a few left over and so I froze them in a plastic baggy once they were cooled. I plan to make another batch of these soon, enough to freeze a bunch to have on hand.
Abby @ 3 years, 11 months, 23 days
Zoë @ 3 years, 11 months, 23 days
Enzo expected in 9 months, 17 days
