Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce

I make pancakes every Saturday for my kids… it’s a tradition. This morning my son wanted to help so we made these pancakes with raspberry sauce and had a fun time cooking side by side. I was impressed with his steady hand while he mixed the pancake dough (especially for a two-year-old). We created a very delicious breakfast–more importantly, we had a great time together. The pancakes were light & fluffy with a touch of vanilla and the raspberry sauce was sweet and tart–a perfect combination!

How to Make Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce:

Pancake Ingredients:

1 cup of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp white sugar
1 cup of milk
1 egg
2 tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine all dry ingredients together and mix thoroughly.

Whisk wet ingredients in a separate bowl then slowly combine into dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly (there should be some lumps).

Heat a bit of butter in a skillet or griddle, over medium heat. Once hot, add a ladle full of pancake dough to the pan and cook for a few minutes; once you see bubbles forming on top of the pancakes, flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until done. Serve with fresh raspberry sauce or hot maple syrup. Enjoy!
