Pancakes Monday...

Because Mondays can be sooooo Monday-like.....

We have adopted a Pancake Monday tradition.

It gives a boost to our day.

I started with a recipe in a book.
Tripled it.  (I feed a small army)
Tweaked it.
And came up with a good pancake to add all sorts of yummy things to.

 

Here is how we make them.....

 

Pancakes

In mixer bowl combine:

2 c. all purpose unbleached flour
2 c. whole wheat flour
6 T sugar
6 t baking powder
2 t salt 

Add:

9 T canola oil
3 eggs
3 - 4 c. milk

At this point in time we had fruit.

Some of our favorites:

- frozen blueberries
- chopped apples and 1-2 t cinnamon
- mashed bananas

This time, we added 5 mashed bananas

I cook the pancakes on an electric griddle set at 325 degrees.

I use the 1/4 measuring cup to scoop them onto the griddle.

This makes them a good size to reheat in the toaster.

When they appear dry on the outside edges and bubbles form on top, flip the pancakes.

When they're done, serve them.

The Kids have a few favorite topping:

- pancake syrup
- butter
- jelly
- fruit syrup

 

The recipe, as directed above, along with 5 mashed bananas, yielded 32 pancakes.

The number will vary depended on what you add.

 

One more note:  

If you find the pancakes are too fluffy for your liking, add more milk.

Not fluffy enough, add more flour.

 

Enjoy!
