what's cooking wednesday - peanut butter pancakes

Well my kids love pancakes and they love peanut butter, so when I came across this recipe I knew I was going to have to give it a try.



Peanut butter pancakes adapted from this recipe at allrecipes.com

1 cup pancake mix
2 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup peanut butter
5oz milk

In a bowl, mix together pancake mix and sugar. In a small bowl whisk together peanut butter, egg and milk. Stir into the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Pour 1/4 cup of batter in a greased non-stick pan on medium heat. Flip the pancake over after bubbles start to form.

Recipe Notes: The kids liked this, but I thought it was just meh. The batter burns much more easily then your standard pancake batter. You need to cook these low and slow, which kind of ruins pancakes being a quick and easy dinner. For me they are just a little too fiddly to be worth it.

But like I said the kids liked them.....






What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. *All front page links will be deleted!* Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
