It's understandable why my husband, darlin Arlin, wasn't impressed with my Bisquick pancakes when we were first married.  He had grown up eating pancakes made from scratch that his dad made for the family.  They are scrumptious!  Isn't it a cool thing that Arlin now makes them for us?  Are there recipes in your family that have been handed down through the generations?  We'd love to hear about them. 

Grandpa's Pancakes

2 eggs

2 cups buttermilk

3 cups sifted flour

4 T. soft shortening

2 t. baking powder 

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

2 t. sugar

Mix wet ingredients.  In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.  Combine wet and dry ingredients in one of the bowls.  Add regular milk at the end until batter is of a desired consistency.  Our batter ends up being quite runny.  Heat a griddle to 425-450 degrees and use shortening to oil it.  Pour batter to form pancakes thinning out circle to make thin pancakes.  Flip when brown on one side.  Repeat the second batch of pancakes by applying more oil to griddle before adding additional batter.  Serve with butter and warm syrup.

This is a scrapbook page that I made several years ago.  On it, I told that making Grandpa Hobbie's pancakes is something we do as a family, and we each have a job.  Have you scrapbooked your family's favorite recipes?
