Breakfast of Champions

Growing up, every Sunday morning (for as long as I can remember) my dad got up and made us pancakes.  And when I was old enough to help, he would wake me up before anyone else and let me help.  At first, I would just butter the pancakes after he got them off the hot skillet.  However, as I got older and learned his techniques, he let me take over.  Of course, he was right there with me in case I needed help.  I cherish those Sunday morning memories I have with my dad.  Nothing will ever take those away from me.  

One day, I hope my children will have that experience with Terry.  He is a lot like my dad when it comes to cooking.  Like my dad, he is a master of the grill and can cook some yummy breakfast food.  Although, he says he hasn't quite mastered the making of terrific pancakes, but I have faith that one day he will.  =)

Anyone can make pancakes out of a box, but somehow that doesn't scream "southern."  So, here is how to make some "heaven on earth" southern pancakes!

Homemade Pancakes

Ingredients & Directions

3/4 cup milk

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter, melted

 

	Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to "sour".
	Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into "soured" milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
	Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.  Spread butter on top of each pancakes, stack and cover in syrup.

Enjoy y'all!!
