It has been a HOT MINUTE since I posted a recipe! I promise I still cook. Most of the time.
This recipe is one that I have wanted to share but I AM HAVING THE HARDEST TIME. The recipe itself it a simple one, but it brings back SO MANY wonderful memories.
Ever since I can remember, my dad has been up before 8 on Saturday mornings making pancakes. Usually, these pancakes are made from flour that was freshly ground in the grinder that had just woken me up, but did I mind? Not that I remember! That grinder is the sound of Saturday mornings!
While I have no idea how this tradition started (maybe my grandpa started it)? It has continued on!
After the oldest flew the coop, Saturday morning pancakes was the time they would come back. One time, my brother drove through the night from Missouri to Utah to surprise us just in time for pancakes. Friends and extended family are invited. It can sometimes be a huge ordeal!
When I left for college, I also made sure that my own trips home included pancakes.
You just don’t miss them.
Why are they so good? Perhaps because they are usually made with freshly ground flour. Or because my dad has perfected the art of pouring, and flipping them. It could also be because they are served at 8 am on the dot. Most likely though, it because they are always shared with excellent conversation with people we love. ❤️
Without any further ado, here it is folks!
Grandpa’s Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour whole wheat is good, but my fav has whole and white 👌
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cups oil
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl first. Then create an indention in the middle and add the wet. Mix the wet together and then incorporate the dry. It is ok if it's a little lumpy.
If you need a griddle, check this one out in my shop. I LOVE THIS GRIDDLE! And I rarely have strong opinions about kitchen appliances. It cooks evenly, fits 8 pancakes at once (if you’re a good flipper like me 😏), and doesn’t take up a ton of room. Mind you, the one Grandpa uses is much larger, fitting 12 pancakes. You can find that one here.
And lastly, it is important to note that Grandpa’s Pancakes are NEVER served with store bought syrup. Stay tuned for the maple syrup we use!
