Making Pancakes

2 Comments

One of my favorite old black and white Christmas movies has a scene where the star, Barbara Stanwyck, is asked to flip a pancake high in the air as she is making her trademark pancakes for breakfast for a group of House guests that have gathered in her kitchen.

She is terrified that she will be unable to make the flip high in the air because truly she isn’t a cook, unbeknownst to her House guests. After encouragement, she goes for it, eyes closed and the flipped pancake somehow leaps back into the pan. The room is filled with joy and laughter as the completed pancakes are laid out for the breakfast bounty.

Pancakes have to be one of the best meals for morning or even a special evening meal. Whether you are a novice or a cooking pro in the kitchen, I hope this recipe that I found a few years ago for making pancakes, will inspire y’all to “flip them high” as you make the lightest, fluffiest pancakes ever.

Stack them high… For National Pancake Day or just any day…
Dry mix ingredients… this can be prepared ahead of time and stored in pantry, ready to go when you are all set to make pancakes or even waffles. The basic recipe calls for 2 cups of the combined dry ingredients with wet ingredients added.
Wet ingredients… FYI: A dash of vanilla is always a good addition to your wet ingredients, which I usually add into my pancake batter.

I use my favorite skillet or waffle maker to make these. OR
Try something new!!! Make the Pinterest version of sheet pan pancakes!!! Find your favorite baking pan, spray with baking spray, or butter well. Preheat oven to 425. Add in pancake batter as an even layer across baking pan. Sprinkle in fruit or other toppings if desired. Bake 15 minutes.

The potential is endless! Y’all might just “flip out a bit” over how easy this recipe truly is once you make it.
