Prairie Nurse Healthy Sunday Morning Pancakes!

Prairie Pancakes! You can add your favorite berries!

One of my families easy & favorite foods for our Sunday mornings is pancakes! You don’t need a lot of ingredients! Organic if possible is recommended. 

Ingredients: 

• Flour (Organic) 1 1/4 cups 
• Room Temp 1 Butter Stick 
• 2 Eggs *I prefer brown eggs, which is free ranged if you don’t have your own hens*
• Milk or Half & Half (200 ml) 
• Your favorite berries 
• Your favorite syrup 
• Self raising flour (Organic) 
• White Sugar (2 tbsp) 
• 2 tsp vanilla 

Mix the dry ingredients, then add all other items. I use a metal whisk and don’t over mix! Just enough where it looks as all the ingredients are married 🙂  In the meantime, get your favorite non-stick flat pan on medium heat for a few minutes, by this time the pancake is doing its thing and working chemistry! 

The few minutes are up, poor just enough on the pan for the size of pancake you want. Don’t walk away from the pan stick around it won’t take long before you need to flip it over. Does, the corners look more round and starting to lightly brown and bubbles of the pancake mix is showing up evenly? Yes, good then flip the pancake with your utensil. I hope the other side is a golden brown! Ok, you are almost done with cooking your fluffy pancake. A few more minutes then Wala (not sure if this spelling is correct :)! 

Put the pancake on the plate, add butter right away and top off with your favorite syrup flavor. The pure maple syrups have great iron nutritional value, and the other have corn syrup and is not healthy for you. 

So, be mindful for this as well if it matters to you.  

*FUN FACT*  The Chefs from hundreds of years ago before baking soda existed, they would add fresh snow to improve their pancakes for more fluff!
