So crepes are yummy and all, but at a certain point, you are really missing thick and light pancakes (usually coming from the Maya, pillsbury or golden crown - I think that's the name - box). Unfortunately, it's not easy finding this in Belgium. After trying all the recipes I could find - a whole year of pancakes on a Sunday, I've decided that this was the simplest and tasted the best. Most important is the milk - get a good brand.
1.5 cups flour
2tbsp sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda (it's called sodium bicarbonate in Belgium)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1.5 cups milk (you can play with the measurement to get the consistency you are looking for)
2 medium eggs
2 tbsp vegetable oil - I use canola. Don't use olive oil!
Mix all ingredients except the butter with a whisk (yes, the oil goes in the batter too). Don't over mix. You can leave some clumps of flour.
For the first pancake, place a pan on high heat. Pour in the batter and lower heat to medium. For the 2nd and following pancakes, keep the
heat on medium. If you don't want it to get too black, wipe the pan with a kitchen towel after every pancake. I'm not too particular and I don't and it still looks and tastes ok for me.
Serve with maple syrup and bacon or blueberries or any of your favorite pancake toppings.
