Memorial of Christ's Death
"On my way to the bathroom, I saw her sitting at the back, she actually came!"Those were tears of joy! It made me want to cry too. I was so happy for her. We can't give up, many will take wrong turns, but how exciting to think some WILL turn around and come back to Jehovah. We should be reminded of and be thankful for Jehovah God's patience and long suffering with us all.

The way we like our pancakes!!

Here is the recipe I used for pancake batter. It is VERY plain, therefore you can add whatever you like to it. My husband always takes a portion of the batter into a separate bowl and adds sugar and vanilla as he like it to be sweeter. I know some people may add fruit such as blueberries or even chocolate chips. I've even seen someone add a can of pop like sprite or ginger ale to add fluffiness and sweetness.
Here is my basic pancake recipe:
- 3 cups flour
- 3 eggs
- 1-2 tsp baking powder depending how thick or fluffy you like your pancakes
- milk as needed to make a nice smooth and not too runny mixture.
My mom adds a pinch of salt.
This yields I think 10-14 pancakes, the size of the one in the picture. I like large ones, but my husband makes tiny ones and sometimes makes them look like spaceships or bears, lol.
I like to add butter to my pan (makes a nice buttery crusty edge around my pancake)and my husband doesn't. He like having the pan at a low temperature with no butter and lets them cook slowly. Everyone has a little tweak here and there with pancakes.
I have my pancakes with fancy molasses or maple syrup. :)
