Rainy Day Pancakes

February 4, 2016 By Dick Cook and Melissa Davenport 0 Comments

PancakesI don’t know if it was the rainy weather this morning or some other cause, but we must have sold around three dozen of these pancakes today at our little restaurant. I had to make multiple batches of this batter this morning and decided on the last batch to snap a quick picture to share this recipe with you today. It was such hard work y’all, and after I was all done I even HAD to eat some of this stack of pancakes. Luckily a customer volunteered to help so I didn’t have to eat them alone. 

I am giving you the larger batch recipe because this keeps well in the fridge for a few days. Whip up a batch today and it will be ready to go for the next few mornings, or serve up some pancakes for dinner. Really any time is a good time for pancakes.

Rainy Day Pancakes

 4 and ½ Cups All Purpose Flour

3 and ½ Tbsp. Baking Powder

1 Tbsp. Table Salt

3 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar

3 and ¾ Cups Whole Milk

3 Eggs Slightly Beaten

½ Cup Vegetable Oil

In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together all dry ingredients. Pour in milk, eggs, and oil. Stir until combined. Do not over mix, your pancakes will be tough.

Drop ½ Cup scoop of batter onto a hot (350 degrees) griddle, cast iron skillet, or electric skillet. Once you see bubbles for on the surface of the pancake (about 3 minutes) flip over and cook until done (about 3 more minutes)

Serve with your favorite syrup and fresh fruit.
