Homemade Pancakes & Syrup - Review

Our family has a homemade pancake recipe that we LOVE and is very easy. It has come through the family on my husband's side. Originally the recipe calls for separating the egg whites and yolks, putting the yolks in with the batter, then beating the egg whites until stiff and folding them in. We just skip that step and put the eggs in all at once, then beat the batter for a little extra time and the pancakes still end up fluffy. BUT, my mother-in-law has amazingly fluffy pancakes and she goes through the extra step of separating the eggs. Either way, it's a good recipe. Also, we add a little more milk than the original recipe calls for.

     

PANCAKES (or waffles)

      2 c. flour

      ½ tsp. salt

      2 T. sugar

      1 T. baking powder

      2 eggs

      1 tsp. vanilla

      1/3 c. oil

      2 c. milk

     BEAT together well. Cook on 325 degree skillet.

There ya go! It really isn't much more difficult than pulling out a mix and adding ingredients to it, and it has a great flavor.

Also, in our quest to find a good homemade syrup, I found this recipe and tried it today. It was fantastic. Most of the homemade syrups we've tried have been really watery (like the quick recipe on the side of the mapeline extract). This one is the right thickness for a syrup and has a great flavor.
