Olive Oil Pancakes"},"content":{"rendered":"

I have been making these pancakes for a couple of years now, and I do have to say that they are Gavin’s and my most favorite recipe for pancakes. \u00a0They are light, fluffy and really tasty. \u00a0The original recipe<\/a> calls for a honey syrup on top, but both Gavin and I agree that these pancakes need nothing more than themselves.<\/p>\n

Prep & Cook time:<\/strong> 30 minutes
\nServes: <\/strong>hard to tell…recipe says 4…we make little pancakes (2-3 in.), so we have lots left over that eventually get frozen and are put in the toaster oven for a quick snack.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1-3\/4 cup flour
\n2 Tbsp sugar
\n2 tsp baking powder
\n1\/2 tsp baking soda
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n1 egg, lightly beaten
\n1-1\/2 cups buttermilk (I make my own by taking regular milk and putting 1 Tbsp of white vinegar in per cup, so for this recipe 1-1\/2 Tbsp white vinegar…this saves me from having a lot of wasted buttermilk)<\/em>
\n3 Tbsp good quality olive oil (The recipe actually calls for 2, but one time I misread the instructions and ended up putting in 4 and found that the pancakes were better…so now I compromise with 3 Tbsp. \u00a0Speaking of olive oil, I love <\/em>California Olive Ranch Olive Oil<\/em><\/a> — have you tried it?)<\/em>
\n1\/3 cup chopped dark chocolate (we use semi-sweet chocolate chips)<\/em><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. If you are making your own buttermilk, start it now. \u00a0Put 1-1\/2 cups milk into a measuring glass, add in 1-1\/2 Tbsp white vinegar (or lemon juice). \u00a0Let sit for 5 minutes so that it can get chunky and sour.<\/p>\n

2. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients. \u00a0Whisk in the egg, buttermilk and olive oil and mix until batter is smooth. \u00a0Then add the chocolate.<\/p>\n

3. Cook pancakes on a griddle until they’re golden brown on both sides. \u00a0Gavin and I love to make the pancakes a bit smaller than your average pancake (2-3 inches in diameter) and recommend that size, if you’re game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
