Pancakes

           Ingredients: 1 ½ cups all- purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 ¾ teaspoons double-acting baking powder, 1 0r 2 eggs, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 to 1 ¼ cups milk and choice of blue berries, chocolate chips, M+M's, etc. 

Sift before measuring : 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Resift with: 1 teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1  ¾ teaspoons double-acting baking powder

Combine: 1 or 2 slightly beaten whole eggs, 3 tablespoons melted butter and 1 to 1 ¼ cups milk

Mix the liquid ingredients quickly into the dry ingredients. Put griddle on medium heat. Put oil or butter on griddle. Test griddle by putting a few drops of cold water on it. If they sputter and bounce the griddle is ready. Place liquid pancake mix on the griddle with a large spoon. When firm and light brown on the bottom turn over. Brown other side and serve. For fun, add blueberries, chocolate chips or m&ms, etc.   

After I tried the pancakes I figured that my mom's or as you would say "doctormom's" (even though she really isn't a doctor) pancakes are much better so here's her recipe:

1 ¼  to 1 ½ cups unbleached white flour

1 Tbs. sugar

¼ tsp. salt

1 Tbs. baking powder (don't forget this part like doctordad did). 

3 eggs, separated

2 cups milk

¼ cup melted butter 

Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat the egg yolks with the milk and melted butter, and stir into flour. Beat the egg whites until they are fluffy, but not dry, and fold them into the batter. 

Heat a large skillet or griddle and oil it lightly. Drop the pancake batter on by large spoonfuls and brown nicely on both sides. Serve immediately with butter, syrup or honey,  jelly, yogurt, or whatever. Fresh fruit and yogurt are especially recommended for a festive and satisfying breakfast.  

This recipe serves 3 to 4.

Now put the stove to a low/medium flame grease the pan with the butter, margarine or whatever you may use. Slice the bread into 6 slices, one by one soak the slices in the egg mix. After soaked put them in the pan. Use the spatula to check the underside of the slice. Once the bottom is golden brown flip the slice over. When the other side is done put it on the serving plate do this on all of the slices. Top with sugar and you've got a great breakfast.

Rocky Mountain Toast

    First, put the stove on medium to high. Then, get a piece of bread. Put a small hole as big as the egg's yolk in the bread. (This can be done using a small cup or glass, press the open end of the cup on the bread as you would use a cookie cutter.)

    Put butter on one side of the bread. Then put butter on the pan. When the pan gets hot enough, put the bread on it. Then put the egg on the bread, with the yolk in the middle. 

    Put the temperature down to medium. Cook until done, about 2-5 minutes a side. If you want a soft inside, do not let the yolk break. 

    If you want a hard inside, break the yolk  shortly after  you put the egg onto the bread. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, and there's your rocky mountain toast.
