Guest Chef G’s BEST HOMEMADE PANCAKES
I’m not a breakfast person, so the only time I cook pancakes is by request. And when I do, I make the batter from scratch. And for this batch I used what is now my new favorite, very versatile pancake recipe that I found at the Foodies’ Kitchen website. What I like about these are the subtle sweetness, and the creamy flavor of the vanilla. I always add extra vanilla, a little extra milk for lighter pancakes, and sometimes even a touch of cinnamon. Also, I heat the pan over medium heat to prevent burning. I recommend testing a couple of pancakes to determine the best temperature for your batter.
If you try them, I’m sure you’ll enjoy them…BON APPÉTIT! ~Chef G
