This makes a whole lotta pancakes, so if you don't have five kids, you can halve the recipe.
Tasha Tudor’s Pancakes or Waffles for the Whole Family
The KID FRIENDLY Version!
Ingredients:
3 cups of unbleached white flour
6 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
4 teaspoons of sugar
4 eggs
2 ½ cups of milk
6 tablespoons of butter
PLUS butter for the griddle and butter for the pancakes
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Wash your hands, and make sure your cooking area and cooking utensils are clean.
1. Put the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Soften the butter in the microwave by cooking it for 40 seconds on 40% power.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Break the eggs into a small bowl. Make sure you don’t get any shells in the bowl!
4. Pour the eggs into another mixing bowl. Beat the eggs lightly with a fork or mixer.
5. Stir the milk and the softened butter into the beaten eggs.
6. Add the egg mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix them together so that it is all blended well.
7. Heat your griddle and butter it.
8. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the pancakes onto the greased griddle.
9. While the pancakes are cooking, soften some butter by putting it into the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl and cooking it for 40 seconds at 40% power.
10. Set the table, or ask someone who isn’t busy to set it for you.
11. Cook the pancakes until the tops are bubbly, then flip them over and cook them a few minutes more, until they are golden brown.
12. Make sure you clean up all of your cooking utensils and put away all of your ingredients. A good cook cleans up as he goes along. That way you are mostly done by the time you finish your meal!
13. Clean up the table and put everything away.
14. Pat yourself on the back. You made breakfast!
