my first mother’s day with strawberry pancakes!

celebrations, cooking, family

I couldn’t have asked for better first mother’s day.  My hubby was so sweet and surprised me with the BEST pancakes!  Buttery and slightly sweet with finely chopped strawberries.  Plus every single one he cooked were delectably golden brown, uniform sized and perfectly round!  His recipe is definitely and keeper!  The best part was spending time with my new family of three.  Little S was such a good girl who followed an exact schedule, was bright and cheery and slept like a baby 🙂  She even let us pose her and take he picture.  AND she gave me a smile 🙂

Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to “sour”.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into “soured” milk. Then add strawberries.  Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
