Pancakes!!

My mom’s secret recipe…. (although I suppose it’s not so secret now). She has been making these for us since we were kids and they are the best pancakes ever. However, no matter how many times I make them (ok, not that many) they never taste as good as when she makes them! But isn’t that always the case...

Anyway my sister was in town this past weekend and Tony suggested we have pancakes. Great idea! So I slaved away in the kitchen while they played Battleship at the dining room table! No worries though, I left him a huge mess to clean up in the kitchen afterwards :)

Ingredients

2 cups flour (1 white; 1 whole wheat)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Salt (a dash)
3 eggs
2 ¼ cups milk
1/3 cup melted butter

Directions

Heat the skillet first (sprinkle water on the pan and if it beads the pan is ready). In a large bowl sift together the first six ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and then stir in the melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat with a fork until the batter is smooth. Melt a slice of butter on the skillet (no cooking spray allowed!). Spoon approximately two tablespoons of batter on the pan. Fit as many as you can. Flip pancakes with a spatula when the sides begin to firm up and bubble. And of course, you have test one pancake yourself first! Serve with hot syrup and butter and jam. Yumm……
