Brunch at home

New York City has a huge brunch culture. With our busy working lives, it allows us get together with friends, relax, and have some good eats. This past weekend, I decided to make a pretty standard brunch fare at home-- pancakes with bacon. I used a buttermilk pancake recipe from bills food with a few substitutions.



whole wheat pancakes

1 cup of whole wheat flour 
1 cup of all purpose flour 
3 teaspoon baking powder 
a pinch of salt 
2 tablespoon of sugar 
2 eggs, lightly beaten 
3 cups milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar (the original recipe calls for buttermilk) 
2 1/2 oz unsalted butter, melted unsalted butter, for greasing the pan  
directions

Stir the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Add the eggs, milk and melted butter and whisk to combine.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and brush a little butter over the base. For each pancake, ladle about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn the pancakes over and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in a 200 degree oven while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
Serve with maple syrup and bacon.
