Holly's Kitchen Adventures: The Perfect Pancakes!!

Have you ever tried to make pancakes and failed miserably? Probably not, because only I could ruin pancakes to the point where they are completely inedible. However, I have now become the master of pancakes and today I'm going to share my delicious recipe with you!! Both my roommate and I could live off of these pancakes, and I make them as often as I can, with tons of different fillings!

This recipe was actually found on the website http://www.allrecipes.com/ and the original recipe can be found here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/pancakes-i/detail.aspx and it's creator deserves all the credit for my success as a pancake master! I used the original recipe and added to it a little bit using comments from other people who have tried it and tweaked it a little to suit their tastes and now I have the most amazing pancake recipe. So here is my(slightly) adapted version of the original recipe:

Prep: 5 min
Cook: 10 min
Ready in: 20 min

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or 1/2 teaspoon if you don't like too much cinnamon)
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
1. Preheat griddle over medium high heat. (I find that between 4 and 5 works the best)
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl beat together egg, milk, oil and vanilla and pour into the dry mixture. Beat until smooth.
3. Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot!

Filling Ideas:
Grated apple
Banana and chocolate chips
Blueberries
Walnuts
Lemon zest and juice

So there you have it! The most amazing pancakes you will ever eat. And believe me if I can cook it, you can too because I am the most inept person in the kitchen. Hence the title "Kitchen Adventures" haha! So, these pancakes have been one of my greatest successes in the kitchen and I hope that you enjoy the recipe (for those of you who try it). I hope the filling ideas give you some inspiration to try your own and if you find something that is absolutely delicious PLEASE come back and share it with everyone!

Happy Breakfasting!
