Pancakes and Waffles – johanna
September 30th, 2008 | Filed under: Breakfast

A friend of mine and her family has a special weekly tradition. Every Monday night, everyone (friends and family) go to the Grandparents house for crapes and stories.

Set up a pancake, waffle or crepe bar with your family’s favorite fruits and nuts. You could give each member a small bowl with pancake batter and let them choose what to mix in the batter. Or, after you have poured the batter on the skillet, let them sprinkle their favorite toppings. Banana and nuts, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips or try a sprinkle of cheese and bacon.

PANCAKES
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1 heaping tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 egg
1 cup buttermilk

Melt the butter in a small pan on low heat. In a bowl, using a wire whisk or sifter, sift in the flour , powder, salt and sugar. Add the eggs and half of the milk. Mix until it gets a little pasty. Add the rest of the milk and the butter. Beating until creamy. The batter will be thick, but should be pourable.

Variations:
Serve with syrup, yogurt and fruit, pumpkin butter and cream cheese, jam and fruit
Substitute all or part of the flour with white wheat flour.
