Check that you have a quality frying pan that is good for making pancakes. Next, check your pantry for toppings that your family members like eating on waffles and pancakes, such as maple syrup, chocolate, raspberry or strawberry jam, powdered sugar, silan or honey. Some people also like to add whipped cream or ice cream to their waffles.

PANCAKES

Makes 20 pancakes.

Ingredients:

1½ cups flour, sifted (can combine with whole wheat flour)
1 packet baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. white or brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups milk or buttermilk (or mixed with a bit of sweet cream)
50 gr. butter, melted

For greasing pan:

Butter-flavor spray or butter

Additions:

Butter
Maple syrup
Fresh fruit pieces

Directions:

Add the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar to a bowl and mix well. Form a well in the center and pour in the rest of the ingredients, while mixing with a whisk. Mix until all the lumps have disappeared. Place the bowl in the fridge or let it sit on the countertop for 15-20 minutes, then whisk again.

Spray a frying pan with oil, or brush with melted butter and heat to medium-high. Use a ladle or transfer batter to a pitcher, and pour small circles onto the hot pan. Do not crowd the pan, and keep space between each pancake.

Fry on the first side until the edges have browned and bubbles have formed. Flip the pancakes and fry on the second side for a few seconds. Then, transfer to a serving platter. Start frying your second batch of pancakes, and continue in the same format until you’ve used up all the batter.

Serve hot with butter, maple syrup and cut-up fresh fruit.
