This is a pancake recipe that we sorta made up from a combination of recipes. The idea was to create a simple pancake recipe that the kids could remember and whip up if I needed them to. In our house, the children over the age of 8 can whip this recipe up with relative ease.
Large Family Amount of Pancakes
4 cups of flour (I use freshly ground wheat–we like the prairie gold)
4 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
4 cups of milk
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 stick of melted butter (you can use a 1/2 cup of oil instead)
1/2 cup of honey
Mix up in a large mixing bowl with a whisk. If you have an electric griddle –that works best, however we are griddle-less since we wore ours out. I use a griddle pan that covers two burners and another large skillet on another burner to make pancakes.
Feeds my 7 children (ages 11 and under). Next time we make them, we will count how many pancakes it actually makes. If you have older children or more children, I would suggest doubling it.
I recently doubled this recipe when we had two families over for a breakfast supper. We had scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes and fruit. With the pancakes and scrambled eggs used 42 eggs that night.
WOW!
Your recipe sounds great! Here’s another really yummy pancake recipe from my brother-in-law. We doubled it to make pancakes for 4 kids and 4 adults on Saturday. They were super tasty!
1.25 cups all-purpose flour
1.25 cups buttermilk (if batter is too thick, add a little more after mixed together)
1/4 cup sugar
1t. vanilla
1t. baking soda
1t baking powder
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
Optional: 1T of brown sugar
