ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar works also!)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (use 5 tablespoons for waffles)
- 2 cups flour (I often use 1/2 whole wheat & 1/2 white flour)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
directions
- Whisk milk and lemon juice in a medium bowl and set aside to let thicken.
- Whisk the egg and cooled melted butter into the milk mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients together - flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- Create a little "well" in the center of dry ingredient bowl and pour the milky mixture in the center.
- Whisk gently until just combined, there should still be lumps. Stirring too much makes the cakes tough, you want them light and airy!
- Heat a pan, griddle or waffle maker to medium heat and coat with butter or vegetable oil.
- For Pancakes: Pour pancake mixture by 1/4 cups and heat until large bubbles come to the top (about 1-2 minutes).
- Flip the pancake and wait another 1-2 minutes.
- For Waffles: Experiment with your waffle maker settings- you want a soft brown exterior with a lightly done interior- don't overcook!

Very good pancakes Grace. So easy and like you said so inexpensive. I used oil instead of butter and they came out light and fluffy. Also, the consistency of the batter is perfect..not too thick or too thin. I used 1/2 cup per pancake and got exactly 7 pancakes out of it... My family likes big pancake :) Thanks for posting the recipe.

<p>We own a small ranch located in Napa, California. We used to be considered odd because we grew most of our food and lived frugally. Now we are viewed as trendy- go figure!</p>
<p>Anyway, we raise chickens for meat and eggs, have tons of fruits and vegetables and do it all without using pesticides or chemicals.</p>
<p>We also cook almost everything we eat from scratch. It takes a lot longer, but ours is the house that everyone wants an invitation to dinner at.</p>
