Hubby is a wonderful cook. And one of his specialties is Griddlecakes (pancakes). The recipe he uses is from a 1943 edition of Woman's Home Companion Cook Book which belonged to his Grandmother.
Griddlecakes
1 1/2 cp Flour
3 1/2 tspn Baking Powder
3/4 tspn Salt
3 TBLSPN Sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cp Milk
3 1/2 tspn Baking Powder
3/4 tspn Salt
3 TBLSPN Sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cp Milk
3 TBLSPN Shortening, melted
Water - just a dab
Water - just a dab
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Combine egg, milk and shortening (slightly cooled). Pour liquid into flour mixture. Stir just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. DO NOT OVERBEAT! Add a little less than 1/4 cp water to slightly thin batter. Bake on a hot griddle. Serve slathered in butter and syrup or honey or jam.
** Fruit (chopped) may be added . Increase sugar to 1/4 cp if adding fruit.

ReplyDeleteI have another question for you what is the black hat society and how do you join.
Those look so yummy! I am coming for breakfast (LOL). Lucky you to have such a wonderful hubby who cooks!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sight of a man who knows his way around in the kitchen. My own darlin hubs knows his way too..the way to the fridge and the coffee maker! lol Sadly, that is not one of his interests, but I love him anyway. lol
ReplyDeleteThe griddlecakes look perfect! Light and fluffy, and full of that old time flavor that has been processed right out of the "just add water" mixes.
I've got a homemade recipe, but am going to have to try this one! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Oh yum - put me in line behind the puppy - I love pancakes! It's the perfect weekend food!

ReplyDeleteAND I love the new blog look, Jeanne! HUGGLES!
Sometimes the old recipes are the best! His Grandma would be proud!
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask what your dish pattern is? It is SO festive, and I imagine, perks you up on the darkest days. .and besides, that, it looks like Halloween! lol
ReplyDeleteThanx Suzie! We like them for the same reason -Festive!
ReplyDeleteMy dishes are made by Libbey. I think the pattern was Fiesta (?). Can't find it any more but I know they make a similar pattern called Latino Flora.
Sounds yummy. My 17 yr old son is the cook at my house. He makes a mean oatmeal pancake. In fact he cooks supper lots of nights. Lucky are us women when a man shares in the cooking.
