FAMILY SECRET PANCAKES!
This is the first recipe I was taught as a child. Not so much a huge secret as it is a lost way of preparation.The extra prep in this recipe involves the egg that few recipes call for. The effect is an amazingly light, pure pancake that doesn't weigh you down, and could be compared to a crepe in density, but not in actual form!! My favorite way to prepare these is with a stack of 3 pancakes..the first with a small bit of butter...then a generous amount of JIF Peanut Butter! The second pancake has syrup only, ending with a peanut butter-syrup layer on top. Sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar, and devour!

Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl, set aside.
- Crack and separate 2 eggs, reserve egg white and yolk in separate bowls.
- Add 2C milk and the vanilla to the reserved egg yolks. Whisk briefly to combine. Add mixture to dry ingredients until batter-like and well-mixed.
- Add milk for thinning until desired consistency for pancake density is achieved.
- Whisk egg-whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Fold this gently into batter, taking care not to over-mix. There will be lumps! This is the secret to the fluffiness of the pancake.
- Heat a frying pan on medium-low. Spray with non-stick of choice or melt small tab of butter to prevent sticking. Ladel out desired amount, less for smaller cakes. Cook approximately 2+ minutes, or until bubbles form and pop in the centre. Flip, and cook an additional minute, or until golden.
- Serve with butter and syrup. Or butter and peanut butter and syrup -- or strawberries and whipcream -- or add chocolate chips and go crazy with whatever else!

Steps:
- Mix batter the night before, let rise in refrigerator and stir down before using. Dissolve the yeast in water(110 degrees warm). In seperate bowl mix buttermilk, baking soda, sugar and salt. Add yeast and seal bowl. Sift flour and baking powder and add with the oil to the buttermilk mixture. Stir well and fold in beaten eggs. Cover and refrigerate. Batter will keep for up to 1 month.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give your pancakes the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking: This will help the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping them too often can make them tough.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them simple or topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or whipped cream, pancakes are a surefire way to start your day off right.
