National Pancake Week



The week of February 10-16 is National Pancake Week!  In honor of this wonderful week, here are some pancake recipe tips for you, followed by a recipe for fluffy pancakes!

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and have a baking sheet or heatproof platter handy.  If you have limited space and can only make a couple pancakes at a time, flip them onto the baking sheet and pop them in the preheated oven to stay warm!

Swap out 1/4 cup applesauce for one egg. 

Did someone drink the last of your milk when you were just about to use it in your pancake recipe?!  No problem - use water instead!

After your pour the batter on the griddle, cook until the surface of the pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst before you flip to cook the other side.
