An Easy Recipe

My favorite food is pancakes. They are good anytime of the day not just for breakfast. My basic pancake recipe is a mix of eggs, baking powder, sugar, and flour. I mix them up in my food processor. The difference in your pancake recipe is what you add. I add blue berries to the batter but I like to process them in the food processor. I do not like lumps in my pancakes. But if you do that will work also.

I know some people like to see whole berries in their pancakes. I sometimes add pumpkin to the batter for pumpkin pancakes. Simply use a can of pumpkin. You do not want to use the pumpkin pie mix but use canned pumpkin. There is a difference.

You can also make sweet potato pancakes. Now these are not potato pancakes. These are sweet potato flavored pancakes. Use canned sweet potato. You can add some of the liquid if you like. But not too much so your batter is not to runny. You will not use the whole can of sweet potatos so make sure you place the rest in an air tight container and refrigerate them.

You can also place strawberries in the batter and process them so they are ground up. Strawberries are too large and will not cook well in the pancake unless they are processed in the batter.

I cook pancakes on a griddle I have brushed cooking oil over. I heat the griddle and then test it with a few drops of batter. When the drops cook the griddle is hot enough to start cooking after I have scrapped aside the test batter.

I pour a five to six inch circle of batter. I let them cook until the bubbles that form almost break. If you want your pancakes more cooked wait until all the bubbles have burst. I flip them and cook on the other side for about forty to fifty seconds more. Cook longer if you want them well done.

I place the pancake onto my plate and cover it with a pie tin. I start on my next. I like two pancakes on my plate. You want to use real maple syrup. I pour my syrup in a bowl and I set it on the stove top so it will get warm. I also place a piece of butter in the bowl so it will be melted into the syrup. If you read the grocery store pancake syrup you will find it is nothing but corn syrup.

You do not want to cover your pancake recipe with corn syrup. Find real maple syrup. You might have to go to a specialty store or shop online but do what you need to find real maple syrup. May you enjoy your next stack of pancakes. I almost feel like cooking some up right now.
