the most bestest pancakes

pancakes

This is my mother-in-law’s pancake recipe and I have never tasted one better. When my Opa visited us almost two years ago, I made them for him one morning and he like them – this from the guy who owned his owned his own cafe for most of his life and therefore knows his food and wouldn’t compliment it unless he meant it.

Today was a blizzardy cold day and pancakes seemed like the perfect easy dinner. I found some blueberries in the freezer and added them as well. Pancakes seems to be one of the only foods that Liliana will ALWAYS eat, and always eat a lot of. This recipe makes a huge batch. I always half it and it feeds the four of us perfectly.

Ingredients:
5 eggs
3 cups milk
4 cups flour
1-1/4 cup sugar
6 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
a pinch of nutmeg
2/3 cup oil
1/3 tsp vanilla

Throw all the ingredients in a bowl, mix it up, and add blueberries or chocolate chips if you’d like. The halved recipe makes about 8 big pancakes, or about 20 little pancakes.

Keep warm!

  1. Those look like the best pancakes of all tim. I mean time! Best pancakes of all time! Man, I’m so stupid. All ‘tim’? I can’t believe I typed that. There should be some way of editing text in comment boxes.

  2. Looks and sounds delish!!

  3. Ok now I’m curious, how do you halve the recipe if it calls for five eggs?

    I’m mainly wondering because those look DELICIOUS and I want to make them but I’m just one teeny person and I need to quarter the recipe or something hehehe

  4. Oh man. I’m totally making this recipe and freezing the extras!
