Mmm... Pancakes!

So I realize many of you reading this haven't known me since childhood; but if you're a Patch, Howells, or an Owens... you know of two very big family "food traditions" that came out of my childhood home" Dad's Pancakes and Mom's Christmas Fudge.

No let me get one thing out of the way, the fudge recipe is never going public :) hahah sorry but Dad, Cassie and I have a pact to guard that recipe.

Pancakes were a weekend breakfast that always made our whole family smile. Our family has been through many ups and downs but this has always brought us together. If you have kids, be prepared to be asked to make these all the time!

Daddy-O's Pancakes
(this recipe makes enough for 4 people)



1 1/2 cup of flour
1 tsp salt
3 T Honey
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
4 T (half stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 cup of milk

Melted butter and REAL maple syrup for topping
(if you use anything but real maple syrup not only will you butcher the cakes, I'll lose respect for you :) )

Do NOT use a standing mixer for this, only electric hand beaters.



Preheat griddle on medium
Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in large bowl
Grab a medium and small bowls. Put milk in the medium bowl.
Separate eggs- egg whites in small bowl and yolks in medium bowl with milk.
Mix together milk and egg yolks, then add melted butter.
Blend milk mixture into flour mixture.
Add honey and blend.
Beat egg whites until stiff, then fold lightly into batter (do not stir!)

Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the pancakes, we ate them all!
