my Perfect Pancake

hi! :)
i was looking through my pictures and thought a useful recipe would be my cinnamon sugar pancakes! theyre SO good! i love them! in fact, theres only two of us here, but i make a whole batch and then put the rest in the fridge and dipak eats them in the mornings before school. so, yeah, very useful!

this was one of the first recipes i was after when i started cooking. i figured pancakes are a staple of a good mom hah so i was frantically looking for a good recipe. each recipe was about the same, so i figured it was up to me to try making them a bunch of times and figure out how to make it the way i want.

i was thinking of "rosco's chicken and waffles" waffles. if youve had them, you know that theyre good even without syrup. so thats what i wanted to emulate. The Perfect Pancake. lol .. although theyre not as fluffy as some people might like, but i still think theyre great!

i serve them with the best scrambled eggs i can make and fakon (fake bacon) - i use Morning Star tofu-bacon. when it gets crispy we really like it! i do not like turkey bacon tho. dont let it fool you! blekh :/

anyway, the ingredients are:

1 and a 1/2 cups flour 
3 tbsp sugar 
1 tsp cinnamon (heaping tsp if you really like cinnamon :) which i do)

1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda (if you dont have one or the other, just do 1.5 tsp of either one. i still dont know the difference between them, i just choose a combination, and if it works well, i keep it going hah)
1 cup milk 

1 egg
1 tbsp vegetable oil 

initially i just took one big bowl and a whisk and just started at it :) now i think there is a rhyme and reason to the order of ingredients. 

for an order to follow, just stir them in, in the order that i put them up.

whisk together all of your dry ingredients, and then add the wet ones. i learned this method from Alton :) except when he does it, he mixes the dry ingredients in one bowl and then the wet ones in a separate bowl, and then  mixes them together! but i just hate using extra b-- actually i hate washing extra bowls. :/

so there it is. THIS was actually my shortest recipe :) you. are. welcome. haha
let me know if you try it! i want to know how you like it!
