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 ½ c buttermilk
1 T canola oil
1 c flour
1 T (yes tablespoon) baking powder
2 T sugar
½ t baking soda
½ t salt
¼ 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.
