Pancakes




The Dude loves breakfast. So naturally whenever I have a morning off with him I conjure up something tasty. This recipe for pancakes is super easy. They're light yet slightly sweet and vanilla-y. Enjoy with ˆreal maple syrupˆ, none of that Aunt Jemima stuff.

Round frying pan
Mixing Bowl
Measuring Cups/Spoons

Ingredients
1 cup flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions
1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.
2. Add egg, milk , vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to flour mixture and stir until lumps are gone.
3. Turn the heat on for your pan so that it starts to heat up before you drop your first pancake.
4.Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop out your batter so that your pancakes are uniform in size and swirl the batter around for a nice flat cake.
5. Cook on first side until you start to see large bubbles forming in the batter. Flip and cook for about 30 seconds.
6. Finish off your batter and voila!

  1. I'll be trying these next weekend and I know first hand how much the dude loves pancakes, so if he's approved them they have to be great.
