First, before I write anything else, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2010 is the best year of your life, thus far.
Here’s a recipe for pancakes I made for those who can get the ingredients.
Eliot’s Blueberry Apple Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
- One egg
- Two cups low-fat milk
- One teaspoon baking soda
- One teaspoon vanilla
- Two tablespoons vegetable oil (these can be omitted to reduce fat)
- Two cups flour (all purpose, not self rising)
- 8 ounces of fresh blueberries (frozen won’t cut it)
- One large banana or one and a half smaller bananas, sliced thinly.
For the apples:
- two fuji apples
- One tablespoon vegetable oil
- One teaspoon cinnamon
Heat a pan to medium. Peel and core apple. Slice into relatively thin (but not paper thin) pieces, and cut into smaller bits. Add oil, apples and cinnamon. Fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When finished, remove from pan onto a plate and let cool. Add baking soda and vanilla to an egg and whisk. Add milk and vegetable oil and mix. Add flour while whisking (I use half cup measures). Mix in blueberries and bananas. Add in apples.
Heat a large pan to medium-high, greasing if necessary. Spoon quarter cup pancakes onto pan. Cook about 5 minutes and flip. Wait another minute and remove. Repeat until batter is gone and serve immediately.
Serves 4.
