The Pancake House

Brandon woke up this morning particularly hungry.  But, despite his hunger, he allowed me to make pancakes!  Pancakes are one of my favorite things to make for breakfast.  I particularly love a little pancake, smothered in Vermont maple syrup with a fried egg on top.  One of my all-time favorite bites.  

Brandon didn't allow me to make pancakes for the first year of our marriage.  He would avoid pancakes, requesting instead french toast, a breakfast sandwich or the worst....cereal.  Finally, when I asked him why he never wanted pancakes.  His reply was simple, "I don't like pancakes."  Well this statement was on par with saying high fructose corn based Fake syrup would be allowed on our breakfast table....simply not ok.  

Well, Brandon had never had my pancakes - which thankfully, he does like.  A lot.   Here is the recipe to the best homemade pancakes.

Cooking up Fluffy!

Pan-y-popes:
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 egg
1 cup Buttermilk*
2 Tbsp Milk
*Whisk together

Stir together:
1 cup flour
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Just before cooking, add wet ingredients to dry and whisk until smooth.  This is so you get the fluffiest cakes possible.  The batter should have an airy texture to it.

Stiff/Airy texture for the fluffiest of cakes!

Makes enough for a little wife and a hungry bear....or enough for 3 Goldie-locks.
