I make pancakes most Sunday mornings lately. The recipe I've used for years came from my mother-in-law and it's just the basic recipe from one of the old standard cookbooks like Better Homes & Gardens. I got bored with it so I started playing with it to make it better and tastier.
Doug and Phee love syrup and will only eat the
real thing which his parents send us from NH. I prefer the fake stuff or no syrup at all. (Or grape jam if we have some in the house.) I wanted a sweeter pancake so I didn't feel like I was missing out on the tasty breakfast. We also like to make berry pancakes and the berries need some extra sweetness sometimes.
After a few tries this amazing pancake recipe was born. And then Phee helped me make pancakes last Sunday and she made them even better with a little extra sugar. Smart girl.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup white flour (also good as 3/4 cup white, 1/2 cup wheat)
- 3 T sugar
- 3 t baking powder
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 T vanilla
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 T oil
If you want to add berries, it works better to mix them into the batter. This recipe is especially tasty with chopped strawberries.
Directions
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Add the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Fold in berries if you're using them.
- Cook on a griddle until they're golden brown.
We've made these with blueberries, blackberries and chopped strawberries. I have yet to try fresh chopped peaches, but I really want to give that a shot with some nutmeg added to the mix. If you get to those before I do, let me know how they turn out!

heyyy I just came across your blog on the B train =) and everything is really well done! Your projects are really cool looking and I'm totally in awe of how you give such a wide range of content. Keep up the good work -- I'll definitely be back!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Happy to have you here.
DeleteI add local honey instead of sugar. I got a bottle at the farmers market that tastes so good I'd eat it straight from the jar (may have happened once, or twice). Just made a huge batch last night for snacks and to freeze.
ReplyDeleteI should use something else to sweeten it, but I really, really do not like honey. The other two do, though... Maybe I'll try it with the fruit pancakes sometime.
DeleteI really really love honey. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches was the only craving I had while pregnant.
DeleteDoug loves to eat that. And I had pretty much no cravings which was weird and kind of disappointing.
Deletedelicious pancakes. I love them just plain. Thank you for sharing this interesting version.
ReplyDeleteI often eat them plain, just with butter, and they're quite yummy!
DeleteLovely pancakes. Super post. I found you via the Real Housewives of Riverton Recipe Round up. I linked in a post about bacon and scrambled egg rolls. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'll have to go look for those. I'm on the lookout for quick breakfasts for weekdays!
DeleteOh yes, cinnamon in pancakes just makes them SO much better, doesn't it?! Sounds so good I'm thinking pancakes for breakfast tomorrow morning! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up another tasty one for Delicious Dish Tuesday!
It's true- the cinnamon and vanilla makes them so much tastier!
DeleteI've been making waffles and crepes but may add this to the repertoire. My hubby and kids are spoiled too and only love real maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteWe're about to head to NH on vacation and I'm sure we'll have something that requires syrup for breakfast most mornings just because Doug and his family all love it so much. He and Phee will be spoiled!
