Recipes - Dad's Pancakes

 

Now, according to Dad (who was great at spinning a tale) when he came to Canada he was rooming with other cyclists who also came from England.  One Saturday morning they told him that it was his turn to make breakfast and since he had never cooked in his life he was not too sure how do to that but thought that pancakes would be filling and easy.

He thought back to his mom making pancakes and although wasn't too sure of all the ingredients he came up with this one.  

2 cups flour

4 eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups milk ( 2% or richer as skim or 1% make them too thin) 

Mix all ingredients well with electric mixer. Cook both sides in hot fry pan coated with butter until golden.

Needless to say, the guys were impressed with his cooking skills.  I can't swear that he made this up himself but it does make a good story.
