I know you've heard it before but this is for real. These are hands down the BEST pancakes you will ever have. You can end your search and make these every Saturday from now until the end of your days and you will have felt like you found the fountain of youth...because you did. Pancakes make Saturdays feel like you're a kid again.

Aaron thinks it's way more fun if you have a cartoon from your childhood playing while you make them. I'm not joking. He puts the iPad on the counter and plays Duck Tails while he whips these up. 

The kids will eat these sans syrup they're so tasty. However you top yours, I hope these help you fill your table with happy smiling faces as you tackle a Saturday together.

Here are all of the links for the tools I love + more videos to help you bake!

Did you know that when you watch our videos on YouTube you help fight human trafficking! It's true, years ago we decided to use our everyday life as a way to fight against slavery and trafficking. Since then we started hosting the Freedom Dinners and when our business started we knew we wanted it to give back too. We donate 10% of all of our profits to  Atlas Free⁩ to fight for those that cannot stand up for themselves. So glad we get to bake and garden, fill our tables and use the beauty of our everyday lives as a powerful tool for hope!

The BEST Pancakes EVER Original Recipe

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

    **mix the milk + vinegar and let rest while you prep the other ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

The BEST Pancakes EVER Sourdough Recipe

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar

    **mix the milk + vinegar and let rest while you prep the other ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup sourdough discard

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

To start, in large bowl combine the milk and vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes : this is CRUCIAL! It must sit together on it's own for at least 5 minutes before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. Look at you! You just made homemade Buttermilk!

While the milk and vinegar are setting, in a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Once the timer goes off for the milk, whisk the egg into it then whisk in the melted butter and sourdough discard if you’re using it. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk until the lumps are gone.

Now you're ready to start making some cakes OR if you’re prepping this to have ready for this weekend you can cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge until you’re ready.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup fulls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until lightly browned on the other side.

 

Here's to making memories around your table! If you're loving cooking and filling your table be sure to check out our cookbooks, Dinner Changes Everything and Red Tin Treats ECookBook. It is amazing what happens when you turn your kitchen into a delicious tool to gather your people.
