Luggage and Pancakes

The day we got back I decided to make pancakes. We didn't have any ingredients for anything else, so pancakes were pretty much the only option. I dug up a recipe for fluffy, scrumptous pancakes and let me tell you, they were awesome! Oh, but before the recipe, I'll tell you about the luggage. When we landed in Pune, as soon as we got off of the plane they were announcing, "David Hartman, please contact Lufthansa Ground Services." Not what you want to hear. So we got down to baggage claim and they came over and said that only two bags had made it. Zach's and my bags had come. The other eight bags were still in Frankfurt. The Lufhansa people said that the remaining bags would come the next day. It really wasn't a big deal, so the next day Dad and I went to pick up the other bags. Well, only six had come on that flight. We were, and still are, missing two more bags. :) Supposedly they are coming tomorrow morning, so hopefully that will be the end of it. Now, let's make some pancakes.

Fluffy Pancakes
Yields: About 4 large pancakes or 8 smaller ones

1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons of either oil OR melted butter
Cinnamon and/or Nutmeg to taste (optional)

Dump all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix until smooth. Pour out batter onto a lightly greased pan over medium-high heat. The trick with pancakes is to cook them quickly, but not too quickly or the middle will still be raw. Serve with butter and a whole lotta syrup! :)

I like to put chocolate chips on the pancake right after pouring it out onto the griddle. Pecans or walnuts are good too! I would post a picture of these wonderful breakfast treats, but they were gobbled up too quickly. Until next time...
