Breakfast!

So what is a BBQ guy doing making breakfast? Well, I don't BBQ all the time. It's too hard to keep pancakes from going through the grill grates ;)

As my lovely wife mention in a recent blog, I often make breakfast on Sundays.

One of my favorites is pancakes. I have my own recipe that started as an IHOP knockoff recipe, but I've modified it. IHOP supposedly uses real buttermilk, but since I find it unfit for human consumption, it is a shame to buy a quart of the stuff just to use 12 ounces and give the rest to the cats. So I modified it to use powdered buttermilk that keeps (nearly) forever.


JHOP Pancakes

1 1/4 cup flour
5 Tb powdered buttermilk
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt (I prefer kosher)
1 1/4 cup cold water (the colder the better)
1/4 cup oil (I prefer canola)
1 egg (beaten)

Wisk together dry ingredients
Drop in egg, oil, water quickly
Wisk everything together until smooth

Cook over low-medium heat on griddle. 300 degrees worked really good on an electric griddle I used once, but normally I use a two-burner griddle on our gas stove.
