easter brunch for twoA recipe for happiness:
1 part pancakes
1 part warm maple syrup (Log Cabin is acceptable, and a little bit encouraged)
1 part coffee
1 part matching dishware
1 part placemats
1 part 70 degree weather and sunshine
This recipe is infinitly flexible and is made all the better by the following additions:
A holiday heavily reliant on candy and bunnies, a wonderful roommate, and a roadtrip playlist featuring Celine Dion and ABBA.
Suffice it to say that I love pancakes. If you know me in even the slightest, you'll know that I love pancakes and brunch more than most anything. Which makes me wonder why I haven't shared my most favorite pancake recipe. I think the recipe came from Martha Stewart (who has wonderful pancake making tips here), but I'm not entirely sure anymore. All I know is that it makes wonderfully fluffy and sweet pancakes that always turn out just right.
My favorite pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk*
2 tbsp butter
1 egg
Preheat a non-stick griddle or fry pan over medium heat. Whisk together the dry ingredients, then add the wet and stir until they just come together. It's okay if it's a bit lumpy! To check if the pan is hot, sprinkle a few drops of water on it. If it sizzles and bounces off, the pan is hot enough. Ladle batter into the pan in desired size and cook until bubbles appear on the top and the edges are dry. Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for about a minute. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree oven while cooking the rest of the batch.
*Buttermilk makes very tasty pancakes, but I've also used skim milk, soy milk, yogurt(regular and Greek style), and a mixture of milk and yogurt. They all turn out delicious.
