I remember making these growing up every Saturday morning. My dad would have us five kids around him, us four younger ones standing on stools and chairs counting out the number of Tbsp of oil and cups of flour being put into the mix (clearly with 7 people we had to triple this recipe). I've slightly "lightened" it up by substituting egg beaters for regular eggs and All Natural Sweetener (Truvia/Stevia) for sugar -- obviously you can use eggs and real sugar instead.
Ingredients
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Regular Egg Beaters
3/4 tsp Baking Power
3 Tbsp Oil (Vegetable or Canola)
1/4 tsp Salt
1.5 - 2 packets Truvia or Stevia
3/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 cup Buttermilk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
Sift the dry ingredients (except sweetener) together. In a separate (and larger bowl) whisk the egg beaters, oil and sweetener together. To the egg mixture, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk. [Note: do NOT overbeat, it's good to have some clumps in the batter!] Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and mix. Warm up your griddle (380 degrees) or pan (just shy of medium/high heat). Add up to 1 tbsp oil to the pan -- there is enough oil in the batter to aid in cooking.
Nutrition Info/Servings: About 970 calories for total recipe. Makes about 9 good-sized pancakes.
Yummy & Simple Topping Idea: Make a quick and delicious fruit compote! In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add a pinch of sugar (optional), 1 packet of all natural sweetener (or to taste, depending on how much fruit you use), some berries (chop up strawberries if you decide to use), and a dash each of syrup of choice and balsamic. Let it sit over low heat stirring occasionally--mash up the berries as they cook.
