Pancakes

Who doesn't like to wake up to the smell of freshly made pancakes in the morning? I know I do. I am not really a breakfast person, I usually don't eat before 11am. I just drink coffee, water or tea. It's really bad I know. On Sundays it's a bit different, I do like to do something special for the guys of the house, usually a big brunch. Every Sunday I cook something different but lately, pancakes have been in the menu more often because my son loves them. It's funny to see his little face all happy to see pancakes in front of him. He goes "pankeke". Too cute.

I did an "old fashioned style pancakes". No ricotta cheese or egg whites fold in the batter. Just a simple recipe, good old maple syrup and fresh blueberries. The secret to this recipe is to add a little more baking powder than you normally would. The batter becomes thicker right before your eyes. If you find it too thick, just add a little bit more milk and don't worry, it will still be a fluffy pancake. 

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1 3/4 cup milk

3 tablespoons baking powder

3 tablespoon melted butter

3 tablespoon vanilla sugar 

2 eggs, lightly beaten 

A pinch of salt

In a bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter and eggs. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium high heat. Scoop the batter onto the griddle, using 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Brown on both sides. Serve with maple syrup and fresh blueberries.
