Cooking from Scratch: Making Pancakes

Learning to cook from scratch is super important if you want to start saving money in the kitchen. One of our favorite things to make from scratch is pancakes. Plus, it is one of many frugal recipes I will share with you on this blog. This is a healthy pancake recipe with whole wheat flour and blended flax seed (or eggs if you prefer. Don't forget that this makes an easy dinner on those nights when you have no idea what to make. Breakfast for dinner is yummy!

How to cook pancakes from scratch:

(for my family of 6 eaters):

4 cups of flour (I used freshly ground whole wheat)
1 teaspoon of baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups of buttermilk (see recipe for this)
1/2 cup of oil
4 eggs (or 4 tablespoons flax mix substitute)
2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat your griddle to 350 degrees F. Next mix all the dry ingredients together.

Then add your wet ingredients on top. I was out of eggs so I used my flax mix substitute.

Mix it all together and then scoop onto the griddle.

When you see the edges start to dry out and the tops start to getting bubbles, then the pancakes are ready to flip.

Like this! Then flip them and wait a minute or two, depending on how thick your batter was, and enjoy! Now you know how to cook pancakes from scratch!
