Pancakes

Pancakes are easy. At least all the ingredients look easy. I am taking a try at it from scratch.

Attempt one

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs, beat them separately before adding to mixture
  • 1⁄4 cup butter, melted (1/8 of a pound)
  • 1 3⁄4 cups milk

Mix the dry items first.
Combine the eggs and melted butter to the milk and slowly stir into the flour mixture.
Let sit at least 10 minutes while heating the pan.

Results one

Quite successful. Very nice and fluffy. Much more so than premix. But a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I did a half batch by cutting the ingredients in half.
