Jensen has been going over to some good friends after Seminary every morning to take the bus with his friend Christian. Christian's mom and dad make sure that their children have a hot breakfast every morning before they leave for school. (I am not a mom that does that.) Jensen loves it. One morning they served pancakes of course as well as homemade Coconut Syrup. He started begging me to make it when I make pancakes. Oh my goodness. Once I started making it, I always wanted it on hand. I then made maple syrup the same way but changed the flavoring from Coconut to Maple. I also wanted to find a really good pancake recipe that didn't call for buttermilk which does make fabulous pancakes. I finally found this recipe.
Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cube butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (can use regular milk but it does taste better with buttermilk)
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (this can be changed to other extracts to change the flavor. I have made almond, maple and peppermint (not a fan of the peppermint))
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Bring sugar and butter to a boil.
- Add buttermilk, coconut extract and baking soda. (Use a pot, mixture will foam when adding baking soda.)
- Refrigerate leftovers and heat again before serving.
