Breakfast for Dinner

As has been noted here before, Mondays are usually set aside for "Breakfast for Dinner." Which means pancakes and bacon. We had French Toast a few weeks ago, I would be interested in introducing waffles to the rotation, but for now, LBA's request is for pancakes.

Of course today was the federal holiday to commemorate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King (Mrs. BA and I have a thing for this James Taylor song) and we did not have pancakes. We had a friend of LBA's over for our regularly scheduled Federally Mandated Holiday Play Date and Mrs. BA scored a big hit with an outstanding beef stew. But here is a recipe for basic pancakes - click on the link to see varieties you can make.

Basic Pancakes
  • Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Whisk 1 1/4 cups milk, 1/2 stick melted butter,2 eggs and a little vanilla, then whisk into the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Ladle 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot buttered skillet and cook until bubbly.
  • Flip and cook until golden on the bottom.
