GRANDMA CADDELL'S HOT CAKES

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients in a med. size bowl.
• Then add enough milk and stir until smooth.
• Add eggs.
• Add vanilla.
• Stir again.
• If needed, add more milk. The batter should be a bit on the thin consistency side.
• Let these set for about 5 min, and they will thicken a little.
• Drop batter on either a ungreased griddle, or a non stick fry pan on medium heat. The first pancake is always the test to see if your pan is on the right heat. You can make these any size you want, but grapefruit size is the way grandma always made them.
• This recipe can also be halved. And, these freeze up great! I freeze them for my family for a quick breakfast, or after school snack.

HEARTY COUNTRY HOT CAKES

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, flour, sugar, farina, oil, egg, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Beat using an electric mixer on low until just combined.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-low heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until middle is set, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

FLUFFY MATCHA HOTCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, matcha and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk in the wet ingredients (milk, yogurt and egg) until the batter is smooth.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Brush the inside of a metal ring mold or cookie cutter (about 3 inches across) with oil. Add remaining oil to pan and place the ring mold in the middle of the pan. Fill the ring mold 2/3 of the way up with the batter and place a lid on the pan. Make sure that the lid does not rest on top of the ring mold.
• Cook for 5 minutes, then remove lid and cook for 1 more minute (or until bubbles start to form on top of the hotcake). Carefully flip the pancake and ring mold and cook the other side for 5 minutes with the lid, then 1 minute without.
• Remove from the pan and and run a knife along the inside of the ring mold to unmold the hotcake. Serve warm with syrup.

OLD FASHIONED HOTCAKES/PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix butter and sugar together in a bowl. Mix in eggs and milk. Add flour and baking powder, stir until just blended. DON'T OVERMIX. (Once the flour and baking powder are mixed, stop stirring. Overmixing will result bad pancakes.) Add batter to a nonstick skillet or griddle that is on medium heat. I don't add any butter to my nonstick griddle. Don't lift the pancake with a spatula to check the other side. Watch the bubbles. When you can see bubbles all across the pancake, gently flip. After flipping, leave the pancake on the heat for about 3 minutes or until done. Don't over-flip your pancakes, either. Flip only once. Transfer to plate and cover cooked pancakes with aluminum foil until all cakes are done. Enjoy!
