Dads Saturday Morning Pancakes Recipes

SATURDAY MORNING PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat to medium heat a large non-stick griddle. We use a double burner griddle.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
• In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix together the remaining moist ingredients.
• Dump the wet ingredient mixture to the dry mixture.
• Stir until everything is just blended. You will still have some lumps. (O.K. to break up any very large lumps).
• Put a very light coat of oil onto the pan. I do this by putting a small amount of oil onto the pan and spread out using part of a paper towel and a spatula.
• Put about 1/6 of the batter onto the hot skillet (I can cook 3 at a time). Cook until the edges appear dry and top of pancake bubbly. The bottom should be golden brown before turning.
• Turn and cook until golden on the other side.
• Serve with real maple syrup and butter.
• Makes 6 large pancakes.

FATHER'S DAY MANCAKE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of baking sheet; place bacon strips on wire rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; remove from oven and sprinkle tops of bacon strips with half the brown sugar. Return to oven and bake 10 more minutes. Remove from oven and flip bacon to other side; sprinkle with remaining brown sugar and bake until bacon is crisp and brown sugar is golden brown, 10 to 15 more minutes. Remove bacon, let cool, and crumble into small pieces.
• Lightly grease a skillet with vegetable oil and place over medium-high heat.
• Whisk flour, white sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl; in a separate bowl, whisk beer, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract. Lightly stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture to make a smooth batter. Stir candied bacon pieces into the batter.
• Pour batter into the hot skillet 1/2 cup at a time and cook until edges are browned, about 2 minutes; flip pancake and cook until golden brown and the center is set, 3 to 5 more minutes.
