Classic Pancakes

Source: Yummy Magazine, January- February 2008 Issue

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 cups milk at room temp
• 4 tbsp melted butter, cooled
• 2 eggs

1 In a large bowl. combine all the dry ingredients. Whisk to blend.
2 In another bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Whisk to blend then pour into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using the whisk, mix just until dry ingredients are moistened; don't try to make the batter smooth or the pancakes will end up tough.
3 Using a 1/4 measuring cup, portion the batter onto a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. When bubbles begin to form and burst on the surface, flip the pancake over and cook 1 minute more. The pancakes should be a nice medium gold.
4 Place on a plate and cover with a dry tea towel to keep warm. Keep going until you have used up all the batter. Place strawberries or bananas on top, drizzle with maple or caramel syrup. Serve immediately.


Tip: For much easier preparation, use the ready mixes found on supermarkets. I used Maya Hotcake Mix. Prep instructions on package.



Breakfast served!=) We slept around 4am already but with the excitement of preparing this I was up by 7:30am! So early lah! hahaha!!

Darwin's Verdict: 3 stars and a "wow!" for the presentation

Comment: (He just told me this now after dinner) "The pancakes were a bit dry. I think it's because you made it thick."

What I did wrong: I think I overmixed the batter. It said on the package to just stir it slightly just until its lumpy. Oh well, will try doing it right next time.

My Verdict: This is one more reason to love breakfast!
