Mimi 4 Three: Sunday Morning Pancakes

When they came to stay with us for just a short time cooking Sunday morning breakfast became a tradition - (more on that story over on grace4greta - grace4greta.blogspot.com).

I found the best from scratch pancake recipe from The Pioneer Woman - I recommend her recipe and mine is pretty much the same...

Mimi's Sunday Morning Pancakes - takes about 30 minutes to have warm pancakes ready to eat

3 cups of regular flour

3 T baking flour

2 T of sugar

2 cups of organic milk

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

4 T melted butter

Mix the dry ingredients, add the milk, eggs & vanilla. Gently stir (I use a whisk). Add the melted butter. Be careful not to stir too much. Lumps are okay. Heat a skillet or pancake iron using oil is the best. And cook your wonderful pancakes. I use a 1/4 measuring cup for my size of pancakes. And this recipe will make plenty for 6 people. I add a little oil after each pancake - I cook one or two at the most at a time. Also remember that the batter will bubble & kind of puff up when you are ready to flip them the first time. I keep my oven on warm and put finished pancakes in there to stay warm while I finish cooking the batch.

Or ... when you realize you don't have flour but you have store bought pancake mix - it works just almost the same!

This will work! I use 2 cups of the mix for 3 adults.

I hope you have a hand made iron!! Special thanks to Daughter One's father for making this for us. It is perfect! And honestly makes a difference when cooking pancakes. Notice the "G"? Such a wonderful gift for this cook!
