Let's Cook ~ Pancakes from scratch

While making pancakes from box mix is easy so it making them from scratch. Most people probably already have the ingredients in their pantry.

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com but changed it a bit. I added less baking powder (originally called for 3 1/2 tsp), less salt (originally called for 1 tsp), more sugar (originally called for 1 tbs), and added vanilla - 2 tsp.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

I added chocolate chips to some as well since the little dude LOVES his chocolate chip pancakes. The result - fluffy and yummy homemade pancakes.
