Whitmore Family Recipes Part 1

December 7, 2008

I have heard story's from my father how his grandfather (Charles Whitmore) on his dads side made pancakes with real maple syrup (recipe below) (it helps to brown it) in the Bisquick batter in his home town of Ceres CA. My father says it was a great pancake his grandfather used to cook bacon first to get the drippings as a sort of oil.I have not yet tried it but it sounds good.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 table spoon to a quarter cup of maple syrup


In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, maple syrup, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.

Heat a lightly bacon fat oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
