Oh, GLORIOUS CARB FLUFF OF HEAVEN!!

We love pancakes in our house.  To the point that we have them every single weekend with a cup of hot coffee while Harrison dines on his & says “Mmmmm” muffled through fat cheeks.

Sadly, I had NO IDEA how to make a pancake until this year.  I love pancakes.  LOVE.  But my brother’s liked French Toast better & so while I can whip up a mean French Toast, I never learned the art of a pancake until my son’s love for them forced my (happy!) hand.

1.  First step – prepare your batter.  From scratch is lovely, but most Saturday mornings, we just pull out the Aunt Jemima Complete Pancake Mix where you simply have to add water.

2.  Turn on your stove top to a medium setting & let your pan heat up on the warmer.

3.  Spray the pan with Pam butter spray (or something similar).

4.  Pour on the pancake batter.  & watch it.

See those bubbles rising?  That’s what you want to let you know the bottom is cooked.

5.  When those little bubbles start popping up in the batter, peek under the edge.  If it looks golden brown, then FLIP!

Gorgeous, right?!

Give it a few more minutes to cook, peeking occasionally under the pancake with your spatula.  Once it is golden brown like the top, flip it onto a plate & serve!

Good luck!
