Pancake Dinner

No matter how tough the day, a pancake dinner is always a welcome ending. Today was one of those days, but it appeared that a pancake dinner was not going to save us - we had no buttermilk and we didn't have enough milk for more standard pancake recipes. We're nothing, if not resourceful, and substitute a yogurt/skim milk mixture for buttermilk in this recipe.

Ingredients

2 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoon sugar
.5 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1.67 cups yogurt
.33 cups milk
chocolate chips

Instructions

We pre-heat the griddle to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, we combine the dry ingredients and mix them well.
In a medium-sized bowl, we beat the eggs slightly with a fork. In a large measuring cup, we mix the yogurt and milk, which are then added to the eggs. After stirring, we add the egg/milk/yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. We leave some small lumps in the batter so that we don't overmix the batter.
We spoon ¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. For those pancakes that will become chocolate chip pancakes, we immediately distribute the chocolate chips in the batter before it begins to get heated.
When the edge of the pancakes begin to harden (there aren't many bubbles as in other pancake recipes), we flip the pancakes. We cook the opposite side for about another minute and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
