Breakfast for Dinner: Pancakes!



Very often we have a breakfast style dinner. Breakfast is just so yummy and there are lots of fast and easy breakfast meals so that fits perfect with my schedule and way of cooking. Last night we had our breakfast dinner and made pancakes. I use a buttermilk pancake recipe from my trusty 12th Edition Better Homes and Gardens cook book. The one thing I change is that I mix my regular flour with wheat flour. I find especially with pancakes it makes them taste a little bit more hearty and I feel like I am being a little more healthy as well. Here is the recipe I use:

(by the way this only makes about 10 pancakes, my kids actually eat these so I usually make a double batch)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
2 Tablespoon cooking oil
Combine dry ingredients and make a well in the center, set aside. Combine eggs, buttermilk and oil in small bowl. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Stir until moistened.
Pour 1/4 cup batter onto greased, heated griddle pan.
** If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice to milk and let curdle while you combine other ingredients. The rule is 1 Tablespoon lemon juice per 1 cup milk.
