Pure in Organic Ingredients | Old Fashioned Pancakes recipe |
||
 |
This is how pancakes were made in the 1970's when they became all
the rage for a brief time. Till now pancakes and waffles aren't big in
Australian culture. I feel fortunate to come from a family where homemade
pancakes were part of breakfast every Sunday. Along with liver, eggs and bacon in
gravy, tripe in white sauce, steak and kidney and porridge. Those were the days!
And we wonder why our fore fathers didn't live past 65. At least the pancake bit
is something I have carried on in my family. I cook this old recipe from time to
time. As I was raised on this
recipe I like it a lot. A great retro recipe. Pure in ingredients and
pure in taste. My kids still much prefer my later buttermilk version of
pancakes.
Make sure you do the first step of rising the flour in warm milk. Do not over mix or they will end up heavy. |
