I know I say it every time but due to my wife’s tree nut allergy she likes to have an easy way to make pancakes that don’t require a lot of time so we made this. Any premade ready to go pancake or waffle mix may contain tree nuts.

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron, or griddle, or pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar (or monk fruit sweetener)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice or cinnamon (this is optional)
  • 1 teaspoon bacon grease
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted (make sure it's not boiling hot)
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • In a seperate bowl add milk, melted butter, and egg; mix until smooth.
  • Then in the dry bowl make a well and add in the wet ingredents.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Pancakes cook faster when the griddle or the pan is warmed up first.
  • Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Might be more in high altitude. It's closer to 3 to 4 minutes.
    Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Do this with the remaining batter.

Notes

This was a great fluffy pancake and pretty easy to make with few ingredients so it was not so overwhelming time-consuming or difficult to make. Since we live in Colorado the batter was very thick at first and I thinned it out with some bacon grease and it added flavor to the pancake.
Also adding in the allspice or cinnamon is just an option I found that it adds more taste and flavor for people who need to watch their blood sugar.
I got the main idea from Allrecipes see the link below.
