Day 22, Homemade Pancake with Eggs and Bacon

Easter Sunday and decided to prepare pancakes.  Unfortunately, don´t have pancake mix lying around in the house so I have to make it from scratch.  Normally serve my pancakes with bacon, eggs and maple syrup.

2  cups    all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

4  tbs       sugar

1  tbs       baking powder

1  tsp       salt

2  cups    milk or water (you may also use buttermilk)

4  tbs       unsalted butter, melted or vegetable oil

2  pcs      large eggs

2  pcs      egg whites, beaten until soft peaks

2  tbs       oil

Preheat oven to 175C and have a baking sheet ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven.  In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) and set aside.

In another bowl, whisk 2 eggs and melted butter or oil. Add the dry ingredients slowly and whisk in the milk.  Whisk the pancake mixture until its mixed but try not to overmix, a few small lumps are fine.  Then you may fold in the egg white mixture to make the pancake fluffy.  

Heat a nonstick pan or cast iron over medium heat and brush the pan with oil.  For each pancake, spoon a ladle of batter onto the pan.  Once the pancake has bubbled and edges are dry(about 1-2 minutes).  Flip carefully with a spatula and cook until browned on one side.

Transfer to a baking sheet or platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil and keep warm in oven.  Continue with the rest of the pancake batter.

Serve warm with whipped butter, bacon, eggs and maple syrup.  Or you choice of jams and sidings.
