tuesday treats: pancakes

Today's recipe is for a breakfast treat:



PANCAKES!

Last summer while visiting my dear friend Charissa, she was doing a couple weeks of eating no dairy. So we had to get a little creative with some of our meals. One of the recipes we stumbled upon was this pancake recipe using Almond Milk. We also added a few fresh blueberries and MAN were these pancakes yummy.

I've made them several times since, both with Almond Milk or with whole milk, with berries added or plain, and they are always delish!

Here's the recipe:
(I believe this is a Silk recipe from a magazine)
Makes 5-6 pancakes

1 cup all purpose unbleached flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar (i use organic sugar)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup almond milk (other milk works also)
1 egg
2 Tbsp melted butter (can use coconut butter for dairy free)

Directions:

1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.

2. In separate bowl, whisk milk, egg and melted butter.


3. Add flour mixture to wet mixture and blend until moist.





4. Cook on heated griddle.
**tip: i use a measuring cup to pour the batter out





flip pancakes when you start to see little bubbles popping at the surface of the batter.



**tip: to keep pancakes warm while the others are cooking, place them on a plate with a towel covering them to keep the heat in!

This recipe is my go-to pancake recipe. :) I used to use Bisquick but I love that I know exactly what is in these pancakes and they are not hard to make at all.
Add a little butter and syrup on top and you've got a great Saturday morning breakfast for your family! :)
Enjoy!
