Pancake Recipe

You do not have to go to a grocery store and buy a prepackaged pancake mix; you can mix a mix of your own right at home. If you ever cook in your own home it is not hard to do with some simple ingredients from your pantry.

Flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking soda, milk and vegetable oil are just some of the ingredients you will need to create a mix. Depending on how big and how many pancakes you want depends on how much you mix.

Adding more flour to your recipe will make you pancakes thicker. Adding milk to your pancakes will make your pancakes a little more flat. To get the desired texture you are able to play around with your ingredients until you reach the right consistency.

There is always time to play with texture after you have a tester pancake when you are ready to cook. Place the desired amount of batter on a preheated hot plate, skillet or frying pan. About 1/4 cup of batter should make a reasonable size pancake that a novice can easily turn. About 1/2 cup of batter is desired for a more seasoned pancake flipper.

Once you have placed the batter on the skillet, the top will soon begin to bubble. Once this happens it is time to flip it over.

To make a thicker pancake full of ingredients such as fresh fruit or perhaps a hand full of chocolate chips, then there really is a best time to add this to your mix. By now you should have played with the mix to get your desired consistency.

When it is time to lay it out on the hot plate or skillet pour the desired amount out and then add the ingredients to one side. See notes on when to flip the pancake and when flipped the ingredients should blend evenly into the pancake.

The pancake mix is not a hard one to create and make your own. No longer do you have to be without pancakes on a weekend morning because you forgot to pick up a prepackaged mix at the grocery store.

Creating pancakes at home is very easy to do. With the right ingredients, you can make a very tastey pancake mix from scratch with stuff you find in your pantry. You will be able to enjoy a healthy breakfast every day.
