Breakfast has always been the most important meal of the day and Father’s day is a special day for families to slow down to enjoy a nice breakfast together. There are various forms of pancakes served around the world and every culture has a special recipe for pancakes: the Russian blini, the French crêpe, the Jewish blitz are just a few. Pancakes are always a treat for breakfast and America has many names for pancakes: griddlecakes, flapjacks, buckwheat and cornmeal cakes, and johnnycakes and the list goes on. My mother enjoyed making hoecakes with any meal and they’re even more fun to eat when cooked in whimsically shaped molds. For all the fathers that have been there to guide, nurture and love us. Fry up some crisp bacon, sausage (turkey of course) and fluffy scrambled eggs and dad’s this breakfast is for you.
Pancakes
2 large eggs, well beaten
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups (16 fl oz, 500 ml) milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter (or bacon grease) vegetable oil to grease griddle
2 cups (8 oz. 250 g) sifted all-purpose flour
½ cup (4 oz, 120 g) melted butter
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups (16 fl oz, 500 ml) pure maple syrup or honey
Combine eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Sift all dry ingredients; and whisk into the egg mixture.
Whisk until almost smooth but do not over-beat.
Pour your batter onto the prepared griddle.
About ¼ cup (2 fl oz, 60 ml) of batter per pancake.
When the pancakes begin to bubble and air pockets form, flip them over.
Brown the other side and serve at once with the maple syrup/honey and butter.
