This morning was one of those mornings that I decided to make more of a breakfast for the family than I do on other mornings. For most of the week, everyone gets his own breakfast before heading out the door for work or school. After frying up some bacon, I made a stack of pancakes. I figured that should do it once everyone began moving on this Saturday morning. Ben, being a teen-aged boy, loved the pancakes and bacon, but realized it was not enough to fill his hollow legs. He added a large serving of scrambled eggs!
Family Favorite Pancakes
1 c. buttermilk
4 tbsp. butter, melted
2 eggs
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
4 tbp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
Beat the buttermilk, butter, and eggs lightly in a mixing bowl. Mix the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt and add them all at once to the milk mixture stirring just enough to dampen the flour. If batter is too thick, add a bit of water until the right consistency. Drop about 2-3 tbsp. of batter onto a hot, greased griddle and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook for 2 more minutes. Makes between 12-16 pancakes.
