Title - The Pancake Runaway

Author - Mairi Mackinnon

Type of Book - Action

Recipe ↴

Ingredients

• 2 cups of flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbs sugar
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted*
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups water

Directions

1

Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar into a medium sized bowl.

Stir dry ingredients with a fork or spoon.

2

Add in the vanilla extract and the melted butter.

3

Add in the water to the batter until the batter is the right consistency. I add in 1 1/2 cups first and then gradually add a bit more as needed. Not too thin or not too thick.

4

Now is the time to add in any of the extras your kids like.

I add in berries and bananas as the final step. When you add in blueberries and/or bananas be sure to only stir slightly.

5

Finally spoon the batter onto a heated griddle. Have fun making those pancakes!
