Since its been brutally cold out & probably also because I'm 5 months pregnant I've been craving carbohydrate comfort food like crazy. Last night I decided to make pancakes for dinner. It was one of the best ideas I've had in a long time.
This is one of my favorite recipes (A mix of several that I use):
- STEP 1
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, oil, maple syrup, vanilla and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not over mix; a few small lumps are fine). - STEP 3
Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel. - STEP 4
For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet). - STEP 5
Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more.
