Best Pankcake Recipe

Best pancakes are from scratch. Memorize this (notice all the 1's):
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tspn sugar or maple syrup or chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (or a little less: enough so that the batter becomes the consistency of pancake batter)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
Memorize and the EXPERIMENT.

Over-ripe bananas? Add 'em. Dates? Walnuts? Orange zest? Add.

Add butter to the batter, drizzle with chocolate syrup (you think it's any worse for you than maple?), try a little wheat flour, use no sugar but add corn kernals, bacon squares, whatever.

It's just wheat, really, which is basically the foundation of society because it is so versatile and delicious.

Recipe adapted from Mark Bitman.
