Today, I woke up craving pancakes. I ended up truly impressing myself by throwing together this fun breakfast “sandwich”.
- Contents:
- Small pancake – see recipe below
- 1 egg over-easy
- 2 strips of bacon
- Optional: syrup and/or ketchup
- A must (for me) Tabasco! This set will jazz up your pepper sauce life.
Pancake Recipe
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Bob’s wheat germ (nice sweet, earthy, healthy)
- 2 TBSP softened butter
- 1 egg
- tsp salt
- pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tsp cinnamon – I like cinnamon
- 1 TBSP sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Milk, about 1/2 cup
Instructions
Start by warming a pan to medium hot.
I wanted to reduce dirty dishes, so I only used one bowl for this pancake mix. I added the egg and scrambled a bit, then slowly added the slightly warmed butter. Note: You just want it to be soft, not hot. You don’t cook the egg. I mixed those up with a whisk, then started adding all of the dry ingredients, seasoning and spices. Once all ingredients were in the bowl, I started with the milk. Add milk until you reach the desired consistency you want to work with. I did not want large, nor too fluffy of a pancake. I added milk until my mixture was was a about as thick as sour cream.
Add some oil or butter to your warm pan/skillet. Pour in your mix. Cook until the batter begins to bubble. Depending on how hot your pan is, you may want to turn the cake over sooner rather that later to avoid burning. If your flipped cake looks GBD (golden, brown, delicous), you can cook the other side about 1 minute and your pancake should be done.
Most importantly. Have fun.
The reason I say that I impressed myself is in regard to the pancake. I am not a trained chef. I just love to cook. As time passes and my experience with cooking devlopes, I realize more and more that I have great intuition when it comes to cooking. I did not look up a recipe, I just threw all of these items together based on my knowledge. These pancakes were really excellent. Since I did not measure any of this, I hope my “recipe” works well for you. Please let me know how it goes if you try.
Once my pancakes, bacon and egg were ready, I was could not wait to dig in, but managed to snap the photo before inhaling. I chose to take my pancake and bacon wrap and dip it into my runny yolk. I had ketchup under the egg and Tabasco on top. Delicious! Enjoy!
