Our Family's Favorite Pancake Recipe

Our Family's Favorite Pancake Recipe

My kids are seriously crazy for pancakes. They ask — and sometimes demand them pretty much every weekend. When I am feeling generous (usually if they've given me enough time to have a cup of coffee first before they ask) I will make them their favorite breakfast: Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes with chocolate chips and sprinkles with maple syrup and whipped cream on top. Man, they are spoiled!  Don't worry, I do make sure they get a good teeth-brushing in afterwards and veggies later in the day. So, yeah. We've tried a lot of different recipes we've found on the ol' internet. We've finally settled on this one — our favorite pancake recipe.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or milk)
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

Extras: Chocolate chips, sprinkles, whipped cream and syrup

1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix together then add remaining ingredients.
