I enjoy pancakes in the morning, in the afternoon, and even in the evening. Pancakes, not just for breakfast anymore. My pancake recipe depends on my mood and the ingredients I have handy. My basic recipe is to mix in my food processor flour, sugar, baking powder, a pinch of salt, Milk and eggs. It is what you put in to the basic mix that makes the difference. Sometime I want blue berry pancakes. I myself process the blue berrys in the batter in the processor.

I know some people like to see whole berries in their pancakes. I sometimes add pumpkin to the batter for pumpkin pancakes. Simply use a can of pumpkin. You do not want to use the pumpkin pie mix but use canned pumpkin. There is a difference.

You can also make sweet potato pancakes. Now these are not potato pancakes. These are sweet potato flavored pancakes. Use canned sweet potato. You can add some of the liquid if you like. But not too much so your batter is not to runny. You will not use the whole can of sweet potatos so make sure you place the rest in an air tight container and refrigerate them.

You can also place strawberries in the batter and process them so they are ground up. Strawberries are too large and will not cook well in the pancake unless they are processed in the batter.

I cook pancakes on a griddle I have brushed cooking oil over. I heat the griddle and then test it with a few drops of batter. When the drops cook the griddle is hot enough to start cooking after I have scrapped aside the test batter.

I pour about a five inch circle of batter. I turn them when the bubbles have formed but before they have all popped on the surface. If you like your pancakes more cooked you can wait until all the bubbles have popped. Flip the pancake and cook for about forty more seconds. Longer if you like your pancakes more cooked.

Transfer the pancake to your plate and cover to keep warm. I like two pancakes on my plate. I also like my syrup warm. I pour my syrup into a bowl and place it near the stove top flame so it warms up. I also place some butter into the syrup so it melts into the syrup. Use real maple syrup on your pancakes. If you read the ingredients of the most syrup you buy in the grocery store, especially the generic or store brand, you will find it is all corn syrup with food coloring or caramel coloring.

You want real maple syrup for you pancakes. You can find real maple syrup in some grocery stores or you might have to go to a specialty food store. However you need to find real maple syrup do not make pancakes until you have it. Pouring corn syrup over your pancakes is not fair to you or your pancakes. I hope you enjoy your next stack… I feel like making myself some right now.
