Pancake Saturday

As much as love homemade pizza dough, the next best recipe would have to be our homemade Ingram Pancakes.  Like any good recipe, this one has evolved over the time we've used it.  A few years ago Allen and I decided to give up as much processed food as we possibly could for Lent and found many things we could make ourselves.  Pancakes became something that we ate for breakfast as well as dinner sometimes (at the time, we had a baby and a two year-old who loved them, too!)  Now we only eat pancakes on Saturday mornings, but we make a double batch and sometimes that's not enough for just the kids!  I'm seeing triple and quadruple batches in our future!!

Ingredients:
1 large egg
1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
3/4 cup of milk
1 tablespoon sugar (or brown sugar)
2 tablespoons oil
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
butter (for the pan)

Beat the egg in a bowl, then add the rest (pretty simple!).

You can add anything you like to the batter and we have tried walnuts, blueberries, bananas, peanut butter, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and combinations of all of those.  I will say one time we tried to do peanut butter and jelly but the jelly just burned, so I would advise not putting jelly in your mix, but adding it later.  We put butter on the pan every time we pour new batter.
