Sunday Morning Pancakes

I usually make a double or triple batch of these and the kids eat them for a few days. I am always happy I did the extra work when I don't have to make a big breakfast on a weekday morning :) You can freeze them if you want them for the week, or just refrigerate if its only a couple days.

What you need

This is a single batch recipe. Multiply as needed. 

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

1 1/4 cups milk

1 egg slightly beaten

3 Tablespoons butter (melted)

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

dash of cinnamon to taste

 Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Make a well in the middle.

 Pour in egg, milk, and melted butter. I just take the fork and mess the yolk a little :) No need to dirty another bowl. Lord knows I'll be the one doing dishes :) Mix until combined. Add vanilla. Mix until smooth. But DO NOT OVERMIX! You want light fluffy pancakes. 

Lightly oil and heat your griddle or frying pan. I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup usually it makes nice size pancakes. Today it was my 1/2 cup. They took longer to cook so I feel like they got overdone on the one side. Usually they are perfect. When you see bubbles forming on the top, flip them over. And wait until brown.

 I didn't do it today but sometimes I slice bananas and put them on the uncooked side, then flip it for a delicious banana pancake.
