Recently I got out of bed with a strong craving for pancakes. It was kind of strange because I would not consider myself to be a pancake lover. When I do try pancakes, I go for pancake mix and I typically eat one or two then I’m no longer interested. It just doesn’t take great. This time, however, I had no pancake mix and I was on the hunt to figure out how to make pancakes from scratch to satisfy the craving.
Well, I researched, discovered the basics and whipped up what I call BUSS BELLY pancakes. My long time subscribers know that I am Jamaican but if you’re new here, in Jamaican parlance, BUSS BELLY describes being extremely full.
The pancakes will definitely buss your belly! They are hearty, savoury and easy to make. Here’s the recipe.
BUSS BELLY Pancakes Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/4 cups milk of choice
1 egg
3 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
How to make BUSS BELLY Pancakes
