Lazy-weekend Pancakes

Happy 2016 everyone!

It's been awhile. *Blowing dusts*

2015 was not the best year for me, hence the lack of posts and experiments. This year will be different. WAYYY DIFFERENT from last year. *Amin*

On weekends, my hubs and I would always choose between French Toasts and Pancakes for our lazy mornings. I came across this recipe awhile ago and like other kinds of pancake recipes, I'm sure you can add ANY additional ingredients like Chocolate Chips, Fresh Fruits, Nutella(why not?) even cinnamon and caramelized apples! This recipe is like a blank canvas, color it as you please!

I always use Martha Stewart's recipe because it doesn't require buttermilk or fancy techniques that my Sunday-brain could not comprehend.

Original recipe here.

Martha Stewart's Easy Basic Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour,

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

1 large egg

some oil for frying

1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2. In a different bowl, whisk together milk, oil, and egg. 
3. Add dry ingredients into the milk mixture; whisk until just combined (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. 
5. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
6. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto skillet.
7. Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. 
8. Flip carefully and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. 
9. Repeat steps (5-8) with remaining batter.
10. Serve with desired toppings. ( Butter, maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, etc.)

Cinnamon Apple Pancakes

We always have our pancakes with butter and honey. In my book, it may be a sin to serve pancakes without butter. Really *wink*.

Till then.
