Fluffy Pancakes, Bacon, and Sunny Side Up Eggs

Today I wanted to mainly share the fluffiest, delicious pancakes I have ever had. I first had these in a hole in the wall diner in the Bay Area when visiting my sister in California. Being that I couldn't find a restaurant here in Idaho near me I went on a recipe search, to finally come up with my own recipe that was as close as I could get, and in my opinion turned out better as I love buttery pancakes. The bacon and eggs are an added bonus!

Before I in on the recipes I would like to share the the pan that helps me make such beautiful pancakes and eggs: Gotham Steel Pancake Bananza. To read my review on this pan and other Gotham Steel pans click the link here: Gotham Steel Hammered Design Pan Review. I highly recommend these pans for any low to medium cooking.

Now that that is out of the way, Let's get to the pancakes!

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 3 cups All-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp 3 tsp Baking powder

• 1 tsp Salt

• 1/2 cup Sugar

• 2 tsp Vanilla extract

• 8 tbsp Butter, unsalted

• 2 1/2 cups Whole milk

• 2 Eggs

Directions:

• Mix 3 cups All-purpose flour, 2 tbsp 3 tsp Baking powder, 1 tsp Salt in one bowel

• Mix 1/2 cup Sugar, 2 tsp Vanilla extract, 8 tbsp Butter, unsalted, 2 1/2 cups Whole milk, 2 eggs into another bowel

• Slowly mix the dry bowel into the wet bowel until all is mixed and lumps are gone, batter needs to be smooth.

• Preheat your oven to lowest temperature (mine is 120F) for keeping pancakes warm.

• Add just enough butter to coat the pan and give the pancake a little crust.

• Do a tester pancake your pans. I pour a quarter size pancake, wait for it to cook and taste it. this will tell you if the pan it too hot, not hot enough, your batter is too thin, or too thick. It should fluff up to about 1/2" thick, fluffy and light.

• Add a thin layer of butter to keep pancake from drying out and put add to dish in the oven to keep warm.

• Repeat the process until all the batter is done.

Either using a Gotham Steel Pancake Bananza Pan, or a good non-stick pan with a lid on low heat just above simmer, add very little avocado oil. Crack the egg into the pan, then clost the pan or add the lid. Once all the white is cooked and there is a thin layer cooked over the yoke it is done.

I love air frying our bacon for a few reasons, 1. It isn't as greasy. 2. It isn't as messy. 3. It doesn't spit and pop at me and 4. It is one less pan on the stove. The directions are so simple, just add the bacon to the air fryer. Fry at 400F for 4to 6 minutes (depending on the thickness and how you like your bacon, my family likes it crunchy but soft). Flip the bacon and fry for another 4 to 6 minutes.

Plate and serve!

Until next time, eat and enjoy!
