Pancakes For One

According to Of Montreal, "Pancakes for one is always depressing, because having pancakes with you is such fun." When you live alone, i guess its just a reality especially when you love pancakes as much as I do! But only the unleavened, European kinds...none of those American buttermilk belly bombs that we all grew up eating at IHOP.

The problem with pancakes is that one batch is usually enough to feed 4 people or 2 people per half batch and by feed i mean stuff them to a comatose state. Well, I think i found a good recipe that is easy to measure, makes 4 thin 8-inch crepe-like pancakes here we go:

PANCAKES FOR ONE

1/2 cup AP flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp sugar
pinch of salt

Fixin's
I like Lemon Juice and sugar

1. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl (in the microwave, not the stove)
2. Add half of the flour, sugar, milk, salt and 1 egg and whisk together until relatively lump-less
3. Add rest of flour and whisk together. Batter will be thin.
4. Heat skillet on Medium heat with some non stick spray or a bit of butter to prevent sticking
5. Pour batter in, spread around. When edges look done and middle looks dry, flip once.
6. Flip onto a plate. Repeat steps 5-6 until you have about 4 pancakes.
7. Fill with fixin's and enjoy!
