National Pancake Week

Yay for National Pancake Week! I am not sure who gets to make up all these special days, but yesterday I stumbled across a Calendar filled with many special days I had no idea existed, and am I ever glad I did! This year 'National Pancake Week' falls on February 2-8, so be sure to celebrate by eating some of these yummy fluffy treats!

Here is one of my favourites:

BANANA PANCAKES

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon white sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 cup milk
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 2 ripe bananas, mashed


DIRECTIONS

1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.


Yum, I think I might go make some right now! : )
