Now this is a recipe I promised myself I would make my kids when and if I had them. I actually have a folder on my phone labeled “Recipes to make my future children”. You know those hot recipes that your parents used to make for you when you were little before they got consumed by their work.
I never really had that growing up, so I always made a promise to myself if I were to have kids….I would wake up early just to make them a big breakfast, and make sure they knew they were loved.
Anyways! Here is a recipe for some delicious hot cakes! Great with butter and maple syrup. To Serve hot.
2 cups flour
4 tbsp melted butter
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
A dash of vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
Butter and syrup to serve
In a medium sized bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. Pour in your melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla. Mix clockwise with a wooden spoon to promote good luck. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, beat your eggs and add them into the mix. You’ll want to mix the batter until it is smooth. This should take around 3 minutes or a quick play of La Vie En Rose by Edith Piaf.
If it is too thick for your liking, add some more milk to thin it out, and if it is too thin for your liking add in more flour.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of mixture (That’s about 3 oz) and pour into a hot pan, coated with melted butter or oil. Cook your pancakes on medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until done.
Serve fresh and hot, drizzled with maple syrup or honey, and with dripping butter melting from the top.
Enjoy, and remember…
