Basic Pancakes
1 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
2 tps. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
2 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
1 1/2 cups Buttermilk
(If you don't have any, mix in about 3 to 4 tsp. of white vinegar)
1 Egg
3 Tbsp. of Vegetable Oil
For the cinnamon mixture you will need about...
2 Tbsp of Granulated sugar
2 to 3 Tbsp of Cinnamon
Depending on how much cinnamon you like you can add more or less. This is about how much I use.
Start first with getting your butter milk ready so that when it's done you can just add it to the flour mixture. Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together.
Put your skillet on low heat for now mix your egg and oil mixed in a small bowl. By this time the buttermilk should be done curdling, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Now the fun part, add your preference amount of sugar and cinnamon, stir in well.
I cook 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup size pancakes, sometimes I want them bigger and I use a half cup. Whatever floats your boat though. :) I am using a cast iron skillet to cook mine ( I love this skillet), any skillet will do really. I have had mine preheating on low I'd say for about.....the time it took to mix everything. hehe, can't remember the time. I'm going to turn the heat up to about medium, and wait for a minute or two.If you wet your fingers and sprinkle some water on the skillet and it pops and sizzles, your good to go.
Side note: I like to heat my skillet up slowly with a lower heat first so that I don't burn the first pancake. Then if I find that I need it hotter I just crank the heat up then.

When the pancake starts getting bubbles on the top it is time to flip it. If you wait to long it will burn, so use your best judgment. Its takes maybe a minute to two minutes to cook on each side.
Top with your choice of toppings. This is my brothers plate, he likes it pretty plain Jane with butter and syrup. I like peanut butter with honey and fresh whipped cream on mine.( Berries if they are available too!) Thanks for visiting and come back again! God Bless!
