Alas, not enough cereal this morning for the kids so I had to actually make breakfast. Ok, that is not so strange, I make breakfast for the kids a few times each week. Today it was bacon and pancakes. One thing have not understood for years is the use of bisquick or other pancake mixes. I know a lot of people who never have and never will make pancakes from scratch. Personally, I will almost never use a mix for mine. I can see the debate headline now "To mix or not to mix, that is the question." My recipe for pancakes is quick and easy; it takes almost as much time as using a mix :)
Cinnamon Pancakes
2 cups flour
1\4 to 1\2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1\2 tsp salt
1 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
milk
Mix all the dry ingredients, add the milk and vanilla. It is hard to get too much easier without buying a mix, and the kids love it :) I have made up to 4 or 5 quarts of mix with this recipe, using our kitchen aid mixer, for large breakfasts and it has turned out great.

You are asking for it! I'd pit my Krusteaz mix against the above recipe. The only flapjack I've ever had that beat it is a whole grain sourdough pancake. Now that I've got that off my chest, the real question is this: What is the best topping? Maple syrup is the standard, but I like to kick it up a notch with a thin layer of apple butter. Birch syrup is second best.
ReplyDeleteApple butter all the way!!!
