Martha's Perfect Pancakes

Kathryn29's Note:

Best pancake recipe I have ever tried. Got it from marthawhite.com. Enjoy!

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 pancakes

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter (I just use canola oil, easier than measuring & melting butter)
• 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
• 2 -3 tablespoons sugar (I usually add double)

Directions:

1. Heat griddle or large skillet to medium-high heat (375 degrees F.). Grease lightly with oil.
2. In medium bowl, beat eggs. Add milk and melted butter; mix well. Add all remaining ingredients; stir just until large lumps disappear.
3. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbles begin to break on surface. Turn; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
4. My tips: I use a skillet and heat between med-low to medium. I find they darken quickly if cooked too hot (on my stove). I think it makes no difference in which order the ingredients are added and mixed. I let my mix sit for a few minutes. I double the recipe in order to have enough to feed my bunch. If you don't have self rising flour you can make it by adding 1 teaspoon baking powder & 1/4 teaspoons salt to every cup of all purpose flour used in your recipe. This was the first homemade mix I ever tried. I had always made from a box. I have yet to find a homemade recipe for pancakes that measure up to this one. Hope you enjoy them!

WOW! These pancakes were AMAZING! I followed the recipe exactly the way it is, but when it came for the sugar I was out of regular so I substituted dark brown sugar. I am not the best when it comes to cooking pancakes, but these were PHENOMENAL!

Omg! This is truly the most PERFECT pancake recipe I've found! The recipe is so basic, 5 ingredients, so my kids were able to help, and the pancakes were so thick, and fluffy..they were amazing! Thanks heaps for sharing this one! :D ************************************ Just thought I'd update his review! This is now our staple pancake recipe, and everyone loves it! Today I have made the batter with half white flour, half wholemeal flour, and they are unbelievable! :)
