Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Here’s a repost of my favorite pancake recipe which I’ll be cooking up this morning.

I have to be honest. I got this recipe from Allrecipes.com.  It has received 1891 reviews with an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.   I tried to make changes to it by adding a little more sugar or some cinnamon and vanilla in the past.  Today I did the recipe as is and it was the fluffiest pancakes I have ever made! The best pancake recipe thus far.  So, you really can’t change an already perfect recipe.  Trust me, just try it the way it is and you’ll be pleased.

Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

    I have to admit — I’ve gotten some good recipes off of AllRecipes before. They may not be Cooks Illustrated but I love that users get to rate and comment on the recipes (it’s a bit of added insurance).
    Hope you have a spectacular New Years, Gena. May 2011 bring many blessings to you and your loved ones.
