Silver dollar pancakes

One of my fondest memories growing up is sitting with my family for breakfast devouring as many pancakes as humanly possible. My mom always made pancakes from scratch and we loved them. Every time they were on the morning menu, it became an invitation to attempt setting "the record." I hold the individual record for consumption after eating 17 pancakes one morning in high school. One batch of batter typically makes 20 pancakes.

To prepare the batter, mix 2 eggs, 2 cups of flour, 2 cups of milk, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a dash of vanilla and salt. Spray the griddle with non-stick cooking spray and pour batter until it's approximately the same circumference as a pop/soda can. When the batter starts to bubble, flip each pancake. They cook quickly at 300-degrees.

This is an extremely easy recipe. Aside from the simplistic taste, many emotions are attached to these pancakes for me. They always bring back favorite memories of growing up. I plan on making them a part of my children's life, too.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
dash vanilla
dash salt

  1. I tried making some for the first time just a couple days ago! They are good! Soy milk and some fruit on top work well too. And it's a (dark) Reusser family secret that you should only stir them just enough to get all of the flour wet.
