Pancakes anyone????

Once again the aromas of this cold clear mornings walk have brought my senses alive and me thinking about of all things Pancakes. I am not a lover of the "just add water" batters, for one, most of them have too much sodium and preservatives in them that take away from there wholesome goodness not to mention the calories. This recipe is not shy on calories either but is what a Pancake is all about and my favorite one to whip up if I have the hankering for a flap jack or am serving a breakfast at a gathering.
Breakfast to some chefs is all about "Burn em and turn em" meaning get the guest in, feed them and get them on there way ASAP, this concept takes away from the fun and creativity one can have with the Breakfast menu and service. I have worked my share of breakfasts over the years past and sometime think it would be great to open up a breakfast house, hmmm retirement is not all that far off, hahaha. OK back to the recipe, this is basic but can be spiced up to your likings or made fun by adding some fresh berries or fruit such as apple slices, bananas or what ever your heart desires, for myself I like them with the old favorite butter and a good maple syrup, real maple syrup not maple flavoring and corn syrup which is not maple syrup and I think is gross. Here is the best Pancake Batter recipe to start your day off......

1 1/2 cups AP Flour ( WW can be substituted)
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter

In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder sugar and salt, make a well in the middle of mixture and add( pour) milk, egg and melted butter, mix til smooth. Pretty simple if you ask me and worth the small amount of effort to make. As I mentioned before one could add spices to the batter or layer with fruit once on the griddle prior to flipping, the choice is there and all yours for the creating.
Have a Great Day!!!
