Breakfast is one of my favorite meals, especially on the weekends or a day off. Sometimes, I enjoy going out to eat and other I enjoy making it at home. There is just something about cooking in the morning, its just about as relaxing as cooking dinner. This morning I treated my husband to Chocolate Chip Pancakes.
Basic Pancakes
Mix Dry Ingredients first:
11/2 C Flour
3 T Sugar (vanilla if you have it)
11/2 t of baking powder
Mix wet separately:
11/2 C Milk (low fat= Skim, if you don't care whole milk from the farm it is best)
2-3 T Veg Oil
2 Eggs
1/2 t of Vanilla
Mix both together and leave lumpy.
Cook 1/2 Cup of batter on griddle or skillet (spray with cooking spray, Crisco makes a butter spray that works nicely, if you can get past the fake butter smell when you spray it)
before flipping add Chocolate Chips
Flip and Cook.
Quick Low Fat Tip:
We top our French Toast, Pancakes, or Waffles with 1 Serving of Cool Whip Lite instead of butter or margarine. Its makes it seem extra fatty, but its actually better for you than butter!
Local Dairy -
Incase you noticed the glass jar in the Thanksgiving Mashed Potato Photo, or my refrence to farm milk. We get ours from a local dairy, called Iwig. To find out more, google Tim Iwig Milk, Tecumseh, KS. There is a couple of articles from the local paper, CJ Online and K-State Extension Office.
