As much as possible, I try to avoid buying mixes available in the supermarkets (e.g. yellow cake mix, brownie mix, pancake mix) because I want to know exactly (to the best of my ability) the contents of what my family is going to eat, and I want to minimize unwanted additives. So I searched for pancake mixes and found this (there are variations for your perusal but I featured here how I like it prepared).

Because now I have access to all-natural home-made unadulterated maple syrup, the more frequent I make pancakes as well as frech toastt.

Tip:
Before mixing, pre-heat the griddle pan, Once mixed, batter is best cooked within 30 minutes, as during that time the leavening agent acts best.

Place a griddle or heavy-bottomed skillet over low heat. Add a bit of butter to grease the pan. Increase flame to medium. Let pan warm up for about 5-10 minutes. Don't let the butter smoke or scorch..

Quickly mix the wet ingredients with the dry and stir just to moisten.  It's normal for the batter to be lumpy. Pancakes can be moade within n30 minutes of making it (when leavening ingredients are most effective).

Add the batter to the hot griddle. Wait for the appearance of tiny bubbles, uniformly distributed over the upper surface of the pancake. Flip each pancake once and only once. They usually take about 1/2 the time on the second side. This will depend on how thick you've made your pancakes.

Serve immediately with
maple syrup.
