”Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent (Ash Wednesday), because they are a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.” – Wikipedia
We like to play with our toppings, using fresh or frozen fruits, real maple syrup, chocolate chips, nuts, seeds… really, anything goes! And I always make extra for school snacks or for the next morning breakfast. Leftover pancakes are the best!
I was skeptical of adding the white vinegar at first, but after not using it in other pancake recipes I’ve tried, I realize that it does indeed make a difference.
EASY PANCAKES RECIPE.

2 tbsp white vinegar
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp white sugar
