pancakes

ever since i can remember, my dad has made homemade pancakes EVERY morning.

literally.

and each morning i would prepare mine the same
{until i realized what exactly i was doing.. haha}

5 pancakes. butter in the middle of all of them.
powder sugar lightly sprinkled on top. syrup drizzled over.
eat in a circle. saving the best part for last, the middle.

and thats the way it was.
every. single. morning.

and this morning was no different.

well, except for the fact that i was the pancake maker,
Jennie made homemade syrup.
Elmer made bacon.

and we listened to the sound track of "How to Train your Dragon."

a good way to start a morning :)
{which by the way, started at seven. yay me!}

So, here's my dads recipe. simple. easy. cheap. and the thinner the pancake, the better the taste. :)


Daddys recipe:

2 eggs, beaten
2 C. flour
2 Tbl. sugar
2 Tbl. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbl. veg. oil
add milk to desired consistency. 

and thats it. :)

here is a helpful pancake tip though: When cooking them, wait for bubbles to form AND pop before your first flip. this will ensure your pancakes are a perfect golden brown. YUM!
