Flavored Pancakes for Breakfast
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk (Use 2%, whole milk or almond milk.)
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons almond extract (or one teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon orange extract)
Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Crack the eggs into a liquid measuring cup and beat them with a whisk before adding them to your mixing bowl.
- Add the milk, oil and flavor extract to your bowl and whisk everything just until blended. The batter should still be lumpy.
- Heat an 8-inch, non-stick skillet over a medium-high flame, until it is hot enough that a drop of water splashed on it will sizzle.
- Use a large serving spoon to pour some batter into the center of the pan, using two full spoons for each pancake. The pancakes will be about 6 inches in diameter. Lower the heat to just a little higher than medium.
- Flip each pancake when bubbles form on top, and the edges appear dry. Cook the second side until it is lightly browned. Remove cooked pancakes to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup. Store any leftover batter in the refrigerator for up to two days. Cooked pancakes can be frozen.
