Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup flour

1/2 t salt
3 tsp baking powder

Mis all that together and add

2 TBSP oil
1 egg
1 cup milk

Mix all together and make pancakes.

Double Chocolate Strawberry Topped Pancakes

• 3 cups complete pancake mix
• 1/4 cup plus  2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
• 2 1/4 cup water
• 1-1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 24 oz container frozen sliced strawberries in sugar, thawed ( I used fresh strawberries)
• sweetened whipped cream

1. In a large bowl, whisk the pancake mix and cocoa together until well blended.  Then add the yogurt and 2 cups of the water until just until blended.  If needed, add the extra 1/4 cup water.  The amount of water will vary depending on the type of yogurt and pancake mix you use.  You want the pancake mix to be on the thick side to hold the chocolate chips.
2. Fold in the chocolate chips.  Pour onto a hot greased skillet over heat just below medium.  Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around the edges, then turn and cook other side.
3. Serve topped with strawberries and sweetened whipped cream.  Makes 10-12 large pancakes.

We had these for dinner tonight and they were so yummy.  I found the recipe here.

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

I found this recipe here. We had them for dinner tonight and the kids gobbled them up. I think these would be great for Christmas Breakfast.

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

heaping 1/2 cup old fashioned oats

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

healthy pinch of freshly ground nutmeg (I didn't have nutmeg so I used allspice)

2 cups buttermilk (I used regular milk)

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (I used corn syrup)

4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins

oil or cooking spray (for cooking)

Step 1: In a large bowl beat eggs. Add buttermilk, butter , maple syrup and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Mix well until mostly smooth. Fold in raisins and let batter set for a few minutes.

Step 2: Heat griddle or pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan or spray with cooking spray. You can test to see if the pan is hot enough by adding a few drops of water, when the drops start to dance its hot enough.

Step 3: Pour 2 Tablespoons of batter onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles that form start to pop. You can also gently lift up the pancake to make sure the bottom is not overcooking, if it is the pan may be too hot and you will need to adjust the heat. Flip the pancake over with a spatula and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is gone. Let cooked pancakes rest on a heat proof plate in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.
