Aretha Frankenstein Pancakes

Probably the best pancake recipe we know. One of these days we hope to get to Chattanooga and try the real thing!

Ingredients

  • 1 egg, slightly beaten

  • 1 1/2 c buttermilk

  • 1 T canola oil

  • 1 c flour

  • 1 T (yes tablespoon) baking powder

  • 2 T sugar

  • 1/2 t baking soda

  • 1/2 t salt

  • 1/4 c dry farina cereal (Cream of Wheat)

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine and mix together liquid ingredients.

  • In another bowl, completely mix together the dry ingredients.

  • Add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix; batter will be lumpy.

  • Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium hot burner, the pan is hot enough when drops of water sprinkle on it immediately sizzle. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Using a ladle, pour batter into what will be the center of the pancake. Pouring the batter in this way results in a perfectly round pancake. Bake pancake until bubbles start to appear on surface. Flip over and continue cooking until browned on the other side.
