Throw Away the Mixes!

So one of my many fond culinary memories I have is one of pancakes. My Grandma (Mama Chana) use to make the best pancakes EVER! Now, granted those pancakes were made with that quick and simple mixes we’re all familiar with- Bisquick. I just remember the fluffy cakes coming right off the griddle and having Mama Chana butter them, drizzle them and cut them into squares. Why squares you ask? Well, cutting the cakes into squares is the optimal way of soaking up the delicious syrup. I know, it sounds crazy but trust me…try it!


Anyway, the first bite of pancakes is always a magical one! The pancake fills your mouth with a burst of flavor; hitting the taste buds with a little sweet and then a hint of saltiness. Growing up I found myself always going back to “Bisquick” only to try and remake those pancakes.

Well, now there is no need for those silly mixes! Try this recipe for those classic pancakes!

Old fashioned pancakes-

2 cup AP flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 Tbs sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups milk
4 Tbs melted butter

Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add eggs, milk, and butter; whisk to mix. Batter will have some lumps.

Heat griddle or skillet; brush griddle or skillet with butter or spray with non-stick spray.

Ladle about ¼ cup batter onto skillet. Add any extras...Sofie really enjoyes blueberries or chocolate chips in her cakes. Cook until bubbles appear about 2 ½ min. Flip pancake and cook an additional 1-2 min

I always enjoy eating pancakes with some maple sausage links

Enjoy!
