Old Fashioned Pancakes

 Im sharing a pancake recipe

that I have been making

 for many years with easy

basic ingredients. 

Pancakes can be frozen

and reheated, straight from

 the freezer, in the toaster

or in the microwave.

Fruit can be cooked

 into the pancake mix, 

However, I prefer natural pancakes 

and add my fruit on top after they

  are cooked also I add syrup or molasses.

It makes them easier to 

heat up in the toaster, if frozen 

and not have fruit such as 

blueberries in the toaster. 

A toaster oven works well

with pancakes cooked with fruit. 

Ingredients

(yields about 12 small pancakes)

1 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp. white sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2cups milk 

3 tbsp melted butter (or oil);

(I use vegetable oil.)

1 egg

Directions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, 

sugar and salt in a large bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together

 the milk, butter (or oil) and egg.

Combine both bowls.

Do not overmix. 

Disregard lumps, they will go away.

Let the batter rest 10 minutes,

pancakes will be fluffier.

Heat a lightly oiled pan or 

griddle over medium-high heat.

Pour the pancake mix, about 1/4 cup

in the pan ( an ice cream scoop works well)

and heat until bubbles

appear on the surface of the pancake

and the edges are slightly dry.

Flip over and cook the other side, 

until browned, about 2 minutes.

If you are serving a lot of guests,

heat the oven to 200deg.F and as

 the pancakes cook, place them on a

cookie sheet in the oven,

to keep them warm.

I don't stack them hot as

they get soggy. 

Before freezing, I let them cool,

on a rack, then stack and freeze.

To freeze, place waxed paper

or parchment paper between

each pancakes to prevent

them from freezing in one clump.

These small square paper below,

 from the Dollarstore work

well between the pancakes

for freezing. Frozen pancakes store

nicely in large margarine dishes,

or 2 litre ice cream dishes.

Take out as you need them

and place in toaster.
