Eileen’s Homemade Pancakes

Jan 25th, 2009

–dedicated to the memory of Eileen Doyle–

These homemade pancakes are truly quick and easy. Plus, they are the fluffiest things I’ve ever made. Check out how they poof up when they hit the griddle–

Sift together:

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 3teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Tbls sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix together, and then add to the flour mix.  Do not over-mix the batter; some lumps are ok.

  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 Tbls canola oil (or other mild vegetable oil)

Ladle on to a hot griddle, flip when bubbles are popping less slowly.  We topped them with a combination of strawberry puree (jam would probably work if you don’t have puree) and maple syrup.  They were delicious.

    can you sub in buckwheat flour or something like for the white flour?
    or will it then be like bricks?

    that’s the most even distribution of browning i’ve ever seen on top of a home-made pancake. its looks so good! Do you have those results without the baking powder?
