This morning I made my own pancakes from scratch using my maple syrup I made the other day with some strawberries on top. It was awesome! So here is the recipe for anyone tired of spending so much on pancake mix. This recipe can be changed for Gluten free diets as well as Dairy free diets.
First off if you don't have self rising flour make it yourself with the following:
Self rising flour-
1 cup all purpose flour (or sub the following stone gorund wheat flour, rice flour, organic flour. whatever your preference is)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp of baking soda
Pancakes-
1 cup self rising flour
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg
1 cup of milk (or rice milk)
2 tsp of cinnamon
Whisk together and add any fruit you might want to the mix or chocolate chips. Now add mix to a hot pan or griddle by the spoonfuls. I chose to top mine with strawberries. While I was cooking the rest of my breakfast I kept the cooked pancakes in the oven to warm at 150.
For those of you who missed how to make your own maple syrup you can easily make it now in minutes.
Maple Syrup
Combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water in a large sauce pan. Stir to dissolve while heating to a boil. After sugar dissolves add 1/2 tsp of maple extract and stir in well. Let it continue to boil for 3 minutes. Remove it from heat and let it cool. Place in old syrup jug or any old used jar you have lying around and store.
