Fluffy Pancakes

Pancakes, are the most homey breakfast I can think of and there are a million recipes for the best pancakes. There are the simplest recipes of a cup of milk and a cup of flour and there you go to the most advanced made with ricotta and other more exotic flavours. My families recipe is more on the simple side, but in my opinion the best recipe if what you want is homey fluffy pancakes.

So you need to add 1 1/2Cup of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Give that a quick stir, then add the wet ingredients which are 1 egg, 1 3/4Cup of milk and 2T of oil. Whisk only until all the dry is wet and then let it stand for a few minutes. If you would like to add fruit, raspberries, and blueberries are a few of my favourite, add then to the pancake after you put it in the pan, this way they will not all just clump together and you can get as many any you want per pancake.

Cook on a medium low heat until golden brown on both sides. Also just a rule of thumb don't worry if the first one does not work out, usually you can count on the first one not turning out so pretty but hey it will still taste great.

Enjoy!!!

Let me introduce you to Pannekoeken

Because this is my first blog I thought what a better way to start my blog off than with one of my favorite breakfast's. Pannekoeken, or the Dutch pancake, or as my boyfriend Theo calls them Oma Pancakes. These thin pancakes, not as thin as a crepe but not as thick as a flapjack are a staple in any Dutch household. They are good with almost any filling you put in them, eggs and bacon, hash browns bacon and onion with sour cream on top ( the perogie Pannekoeken) or my favorite just rolled with Syrup and icing sugar.

you will have to make sure your skillet is very warm, and if the first one doesn't turn out beautiful don't get discouraged the first one is always a little ugly. Also the recipe is never exact as its been handed down from mother to child for a long time.

For 2 people

you will need one egg, 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp melted butter, and then 1 cup of Milk

you may not need all of the milk you just need it until the batter is a nice runny consistency.

You mix it all together and take a ladle and put in hot frying pan (Medium high) with some melted butter in it or oil, and cook for about 3 minutes per side.

Don't forget to add all of your favorite fruit or flavors to the breakfast, and enjoy.

This is a very easy and delish recipe if you are in the mood for a sunday breakfast on thursday morning.
