A bit of flour

     Remember waking up to the smell of pancakes when you were little. That sweet aroma could just about lift you out of bed, carry you down the hall, and seat you ever so gingerly at the kitchen table. No cold cereal today, no sirree bob. Mom was making a hot breakfast; and, pancakes were on the menu. Two please with extra butter and drown ’em in syrup. You stuffed your napkin in your jammies, thanked God and then you ‘went to town’ on those pancakes.    

       Afterwards, your stomach stuck out and you couldn’t eat another bite if you wanted to. You hugged mom and headed back down the hall, grateful for the little things in life. Ahh, if only we could recapture those days.

 

     Well, we can’t move back in with the folks; but, we can treat ourselves to great tasting flapjacks any time we like. Of course you could buy a box; but, homemade pancakes are so much better. They require only a few ingredients and can be made in no time at all.

 

        This recipe is my favorite. I got it from Allrecipes.com

 

Good old fashioned pancakes

 1 ½ cups flour

3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar (I use two)

1 ¼ cups milk

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 egg

 

     Do yourself a favor and double or triple the dry ingredient part of the recipe. Then remove only the amount you’ll need at that moment and put the rest in a container for next time.

 If you’ve never made homemade pancakes or if its been a while, treat yourself to some soon.
