Basic Pancake Recipe

Snow Day!  Well...I will have to be out in it anyway.  Going to volunteer at Hamilton Urban Core Health Care seminar at the Sheraton this afternoon. Going to be very cold outside so I decided to whip up (since I had a little time today), some yummy and warming pancakes before I head out into the great white north!

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
a dash of salt
2 cups milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, left sitting for five minutes (makes buttermilk)
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter

Method:
Mix the milk and lemon juice together and let sit for a few minutes to thicken. In the meantime, whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
Whisk the egg and the cooled melted butter. Add to the milk and lemon juice mixture. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, just until combined. Do not over mix.
Cook pancakes as you normally would, using 1/4-cup scoops of batter.
*Serve up with some sausage or bacon strips!
