After reading Dooce‘s Pancake posts(1, 2), I was hankering for a pancake… of my very own. I took a nap and woke up still drooling (I named the little puddle Rod) over the idea of a fluffy pancake.
So I caved… and it was delicious and buttery. AND it shut up the part of my brain that thinks it’s a bad adult swim cartoon and kept shouting: PANCAKES!!!!
This makes about 6 pancakes. This was eaten by my mother and I in stacks of 3. The preparation takes about 15-20 minutes.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- Around 2-3 tablespoon of salted butter (because… I don’t keep unsalted butter at home. Eh.)
- A dribble of vanilla extract (I would guess around 1-2 teaspoons
- Let the egg and milk stand to warm up a little to room temperature (while you get materials and sift through flour)
- Melt the butter
- Sift the flour, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon all together twice.
- Separate the egg and beat the egg white until peaks stay in place
- Mix in the yolk, milk, butter, and vanilla.
- Create a cleft in the flour mixture and mix in the liquid. Mix until smooth.
- Heat the grill, frying pan, etc.. I like to heat it up and add some more butter.
- I eye the mixture and pour in around 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture. Eh. Brown both sides in medium heat. I usually start off medium high and then go down to medium low to low by the last few.
If you want to be gluttonous (of course you do!), you can put some more butter on these puppies before serving. Eat with bacon or eggs… pour some jam, whatever. I pour generous amounts of syrup (I like Aunt Jemima) and sprinkle some cinnamon.
(PS: This is not a diet meal so please don’t even start to think about calories.)
