Maple Pancakes

My #1 comfort food has and will always be pancakes. I have stories of my first pancake house, my aunt pancakes that were as big as a plate, to the very first time I made pancakes from scratch. So now I'll share one of my recipes with you. Hope you enjoy.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoon maple syrup


Directions

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine egg, milk, oil and syrup; stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown.

TIPS

• Just as a rule of thumb never turn your pancakes more than once.
• If you're feeling risque add one diced apple and/or a handful or pecans to the mix
• Add a teaspoon or two (maybe 3) to the dry ingredients and a tablespoon of vanilla to the wet
• If you don't want to do all this from scratch just use pancake mix. Always use milk instead of water for a richer pancake. 
• Try switching out regular milk for buttermilk.
