Grammy's Homemade Pancakes

Oil for frying pan

Large frying pan 

and

1 Egg
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1/2 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Teaspoons Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Oil

Whisk together until smooth.

Pour 1/4 inch of oil into your pan and let heat. Drip a drop of the batter into the oil. When it begins to sizzle, add your pancakes.

When bubbles form on the cakes, carefully flip them over.

Test center by poking a small hole in it. If batter comes out, cook another minute or so.


Place on a paper towel just for a second to absorb any extra oil, then place on plate and serve!

This recipe makes about 6 medium sized pancakes.

For my family of 3, I made 2 recipes.

I "met" Tina online about 11 years ago, through a scrapbooking message board.  We've shared many of life's ups and downs over the years, and watched each other kids grow up in pictures.  She's such a great lady -- SUPER funny, SUPER creative in digital scrapbooking (she's a designer at the Digital Scrapbook Place), an awesome photographer, a youth group leader, and she rocks at coming up with creative baking ideas!  She has a blog, Sugar Bean Bakers, where she posts lots of creative food ideas, and all things yummy -- from cupcakes, cookies, and cakes, to smoothies.  The following is a recipe she posted for a peach banana smoothie.  I tried it, and it's delicious!  Now I just have to wait for peaches to be in season, and I'll be making this everyday!

Peach Banana Smoothie 
Recipe by Tina @Sugar Bean Bakers

1 peach (or nectarine)- peeled, pit removed & sliced

1 banana (also peeled ;) 

1/3 cup yogurt*

1/3 cup of milk**

1 Tablespoon honey

splash of vanilla

4 ice cubes
(mine are the 1/2 moon size from my ice maker)

In a blender/processor that can chop ice:

blend until you stop hearing the ice clink around. Usually about 1-2 minutes.

Taste, you can add more honey if you need.

 *for this recipe you can use plain yogurt, peach, vanilla, or honey
also note if you use Greek Yogurt, you may need a little more milk as it is thicker

**use any milk you like, Fat Free, Skim, 2%, Whole, soy, etc.
I actually used Almond Milk for the one in the photo.

You can adjust the ratio of milk/yogurt for the consistency you like, this is how
the Bean prefers his. It's not too thick, not too thin.

This makes one large smoothie or 2 small smoothies.
