| Dollar Pancakes |
It is called "Dollar Pancakes." Only Canadians can relate since the Americans do not have a $1 dollar coin, ha ha ha. These dollar pancakes is one of my son's favorite breakfast. I cannot count how many he can eat at one time, he loves it. He in fact, helps me make them. For fun, we make alphabets or numbers or shapes with the batter. It's a fun way to have your child help make their own breakfast, and also a fun way to teach number, alphabets, and shapes
INGREDIENTS:
1 large egg
1 cup all purpose or whole wheat flour
3/4 cup milk
1 tbsp granulated or packed brown sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Butter, stick margarine or shortening
Note: This recipe is a regular pancake recipe.
DIRECTIONS:
- Beat egg in medium bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except butter just until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
- Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 degrees F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Grease griddle with butter if necessary.
- Use a tablespoon to measure and cook 2 dollar pancakes per tablespoon. The tablespoon is also ideal for shaping.
- Cook pancake until bubbly on top, puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
