Lately, Heather and I have tried to cook from scratch a little bit more. It does take a tad bit more time, but it isn't too bad if you plan ahead just a little bit. We realized that it was expensive buying all different kinds of convenience foods and mixes to make things, when we really had all the from-scratch ingredients on hand anyway. Not only does cooking from scratch save money, but also makes you feel like you're eating a little bit healthier too, with less preservatives, additives, salt, etc. Heather's sister April introduced us to these pancakes. They are SO easy, and now we can push the cart directly past the Krusteaz pancake mix at Costco with confidence. Also, this recipe makes about a dozen pancakes, which is PERFECT for our family. No more wasted leftover pancakes!
1-1/2 cups flour (feel free to use whole wheat flour!)
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 Tablespoons oil
2 eggs, separated
1-1/2 cups milk
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, oil, egg yolks, and milk. With an electric hand beater (or exceptionally strong arm) beat egg whites in small bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter. Pour batter by 1/4 cup-fuls onto hot greased griddle.
Makes about 12 pancakes
