These are some yummy pancakes I make using a jar gift recipe (below). I sub out the milk for whatever juice we have on hand each Sunday morning. Today’s was a mix of fruit and veg. We can taste the fruit in the cakes and they even seem a bit more moist. And you can’t beat an orange hued pancake! Taste + colour changes = heaven as far as I’m concerned. Oh, and we also use this batter to make our waffles when we’re not in the mood for pancakes.

P.S.: You can use this same pancake batter to dip your Texas Toast in if you’re in the mood for french toast hot off the griddle. Just mix it up the night before, cover and refrigerate till you need it the next morning. It may need to be thinned out a touch more after a night of chilling, too.

Pancake Mix in a Bag:
2 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups milk

Combine contents of jar with eggs, oil and milk. Pour pancake mix into a large bowl. Add eggs, oil and milk. Stir until well combined.

Allow to sit in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.

These pancakes can be frozen after frying. Store each pancake separately in plastic wrap and place in a large freezer-safe zip-type bag. Reheat in microwave oven.

This is pizza crust made using the last of the week old French Boule bread dough. This is a large pizza pie, but you don’t have to roll it out as thin as I did if you would like a thicker crust. You’ll end up with a small to medium size instead. This dough is very accommodating.
