When I have leftovers on hand for dinner I like to stock my pantry while my daughter takes her afternoon nap. One of the things I always like to have in my cupboard is my homemade pancake mix. Every month or so I’ll set aside a naptime to make a big batch which I keep in a glass
jar with a scoop so it is always at the ready. Some
weekdays, when I have slept especially well, I do a pancake breakfast
with my daughter. But, admittedly, I mostly do them on the weekends.
The beauty of this pancake mix is that it keeps for several weeks so
you can easily whip up a stack anytime you want.—
2 T. sugar
Ladle the 1/3 c. of the batter into the pan and let it warm until
bubble starts to show on the surface. Flip quickly with a thin spatula
and allow to cook on the other side until golden brown. Serve hot.
The key to this recipe is a malt powder. If you don’t add it your mix
may seem a little bland and basic. But, no matter how you make it, be
sure to have fun dressing up the pancakes once they’re made. My favorite
toppings are sliced fruits, maple syrup, fruit syrup and sweet cheeses
like ricotta or mascarpone.
Naptime Reviews:
My daughter adores pancakes, especially when they are cut up in little
triangles that she can dip into a ramekin of warm syrup! My husband
likes these too, often served with a side of bacon.
