I’ve never really had a complete pancake fail before, but my pancakes were never as good as the ones you get at a pancake house – the ones that are perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, with a thick, fluffy inside.
This had to change, so I decided to try my luck with putting together a new recipe, and googled “best fluffy pancakes ever” for a starting point. I decided to use half whole wheat and half white flour to try and get a better traditional consistency, and then went with what seemed like good ratios of everything else. Fortunately, luck was on my side and they turned out great!
Perfect Pancakes
makes 2 giant pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup white flour
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- flax egg (1/2 tsp flax + 1 tsp water)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Directions
- Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add wet ingredients, and stir until just combined.
- Heat a skillet on medium, and coat lightly with butter.
- Add batter, and cook until edges solidify and bubbles appear on top.
- Flip, and cook until browned on other side.
In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
Then add in the flax egg and milk, and stir until just combined. You might need to add a little water to thin it out a bit, but there should still be lumps in it.
Then fry in a pan with a little bit of butter. I think the butter is key to getting the perfect crispy texture on the outside! Once the edges start to solidify and bubbles appear in the top, the pancake is ready to be flipped.
And voila! Perfect pancake. No brains here 
I had my pancakes with butter melted on top, and a side of steamed broccoli. I know that pancakes aren’t usually a dinner food, but I figured why not? Without the syrup they went well with veggies, and probably along the same idea as eating bread.
So good!
I had a pineapple chobani with my pancakes and broccoli, which was delicious. I can’t decide if I like it better than the vanilla, which is my current fave. I love vanilla flavour, but 2% is so much creamier!
Dessert was the last of my leftover red velvet cheesecake on a cute cupcake plate I got from Target 
Now I’m off to do absolutely nothing else productive and catch some zzz’s. See ya later!
