Episode 16: Pancakes


For this episode of my show I had my friend Kayla over to help. Until today her mom was making pancakes out of a box, but now that she knows how easy it easy they'll all be from scratch!

The recipe:
1 cup of flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 egg

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowel. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir them just until moist. The batter will be a little lumpy.

Pour a couple tablespoons into a hot skillet and cook until the bubbles start to pop. Flip when golden and cook a little bit more. Enjoy with maple syrup.

(We usually add frozen blueberries, mashed bananas, pecans, or chocolate chips to the batter, but they taste delicious plain, too.)
