Mick here and back with another recipe! This week is exam week (I know, I know, but we have to take them.), so I thought that I&#8217;d give you guys a breakfast recipe. Who doesn&#8217;t love fluffy, homemade pancakes? (I prefer waffles, but pancakes are nice).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You will need these ingredients:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 1\/2 cups of all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>4 tbsp. melted butter\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp. granulated sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp. salt\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>1 egg<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 cups warm milk (not scalding)<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;re back from your trip to the supermarket, you can finally make these fluffy golden clouds. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and melted butter. Add the vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients (slowly or you&#8217;ll get flour everywhere) and whisk lightly until all large clumps of flour are gone. Do not overmix the batter or the pancakes won&#8217;t be fluffy.<\/li>\n<li>Either using a piece of butter or a tablespoon of oil, brush a skillet until completely covered. Then use a large tablespoon, and spoon (There&#8217;s not really a better word for it) the batter into the center of the skillet and quickly, spread it into a circle.<\/li>\n<li>Cook on the bottom side until tiny holes appear around the edges (sorry trypophobia people it creeps me out too). The bottom of the pancake should be a golden brown. (Takes about 3 minutes).<\/li>\n<li>Flip and cook on the other side until it&#8217;s the same shade as the cooked side.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add your preferred toppings and serve. (I like maple syrup and sliced apples.)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This is the best homemade pancake recipe I&#8217;ve used by far. I really do recommend it but be creative! Explore different foods and find what you like! I personally love putting chocolate chips and a dash of cinnamon and sugar into my pancake batter. You should always be expressive and cooking is one of the best ways to do that. You&#8217;re creating something with your own hands. There is no right or wrong way to cook. (Well, there are a few, like burning your house down or putting cinnamon into chicken and rice. I was eight, okay.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I know my blog is about cooking and recipes. But it&#8217;s about more than making a dish. I&#8217;m writing these blogs because I&#8217;m combining two of my favorite things; cooking and writing. And I think you should do the same and incorporate some of your favorite things into your everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Stay awesome.<\/p>\n<p>-Mick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys!
