I remember when growing up my mom used to make pancakes for dinner, usually on a Friday or Saturday night. When I got married I brought the idea up to my new husband. It was entirely foreign to him. Guess what? It didn't stay that way! There are so many varieties of pancakes out there it's outrageous and right now with fresh fruit on the grocery shelves it's also the best time to make a batch of pancakes cover them with your favorite fruit-I prefer blueberries and sweeten with some low fat maple syrup, it's available now. They didn't have that when I was I kid! Honey is another great alternative.
Here's one of my most favorite pancake recipes. I usually cut out the buttermilk:
Basic Pancakes
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk (2%milk)
1/4 cup oil
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tbl. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Heat griddle to medium-high heat. (*400) In large bowl, beat eggs; stir in milk and oil. Add remaining ingredients. Beat or stir just until large lumps disappear. For thicker pancakes flour-for thinner pancakes add more milk. Lightly grease heated griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup per pancake onto hot griddle. Bake until bubbles form and edges start to dry; turn.
Makes 16 4" pancakes. Enjoy!
Don't forget to try bananas, I hear they're very good on pancakes! Cheers!
