Recipes: pancakes & waffles

Something we really like to make and keep on hand is breakfast for our kids. It makes morning a lot easier and kids love pancakes and waffles. Following is the recipes that we use for pancakes and waffles that I got from Mike's mom (hope she doesn't mind). We make these in mass quantities. Make as much as you want. We usually do at least 4 recipes at a time, then we have enough for a few weeks (when they don't eat them everyday).

Pancakes

1 1/4 cups flour
1 TBS. sugar
1 TBS. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
2 TBS. oil
1 egg

Mix all but milk and flour. Add milk and flour alternating until smooth. Cook on griddle.

Waffles

1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 TBS. sugar
2 eggs, separated
1/3 cup oil
1 cup milk

Separate egg whites. Beat whites until stiff. In separate bowl, mix sugar, oil and egg yolks. Add flour and milk alternating. Mix. Add egg whites last and fold in. Cook until done in waffle iron.

Hope your family enjoys these as much as ours does. We shake up our recipes to and we have added banana, peanut butter, and chocolate chips to the batter. We also have tried them with wheat flour, very yummy. And fruit with whipped cream is yummy for a topping.
