Sautee these in a bit of oil.
Add:

Pancakes and Waffles

I have made this recipe precisely 2,288 times. Emily and Lizzie particularly like this-- and like it A LOT.

2 eggs
2 cups of milk
1/2 c oil, more for waffles
1-2 T baking powder
1 t salt
2 T sugar
2 cups flour, can use half wheat too.


Mix first three, then add dry ingredients.  Whisk a lot and then fry up.  MMMMM.

We always made pancakes from scratch.  I do not know why--probably because they taste way better.

Emily was like 6 and she could make these on her own, because I was not fast enough for her.

1/2 t salt

Mix all ingredients together.  Pour a thin layer of batter in a hot frying pan and left the pan and tip all around to make it spread around the pan.  Cook then flip.
