I was looking over a list of the all-time most popular recipes posted on Allrecipes
last week, and there it was at number one…”Good Old Fashioned
Pancakes.” Since I’ve never done a classic American pancake recipe
video, despite countless food wishes for just that, I decided it was an
omen that could not be ignored.
This is from Dakota Kelly, who claims to have found it on a well-worn card in her Grandma's recipe book. Well, Grandma Kelly, if that is
your real name, this recipe makes one fine stack of pancakes. Not too
thick, not too thin, tender, light, buttery, and delicious.
I’ve
always used those exact same seven ingredients, as do 90% of all
pancake makers, but like many “pros,” I simply throw everything in a
bowl, and stir in enough milk, until the batter feels “right.” I never
bothered to write down the formula.
So,
as much as I hate to admit it, it was actually kind of fun to use an
exact set of measurements, knowing I’ll now be able to repeat these
results again and again. I know that boxed mix is convenient, but every
once in a while you need to make this kind of recipe from scratch. I
hope you give them a try soon. Enjoy!
