Beer Pancakes; one word "YUM!"

 INGREDIENTS:

-2 eggs
-1 cup beer at room temperature (your choice, feel free to play around with the selection; just remember that the cakes will take on the flavor profile of your selection)
-2 Tbs. vegetable oil
-2 Tbs. honey
-1 cup all purpose flour
-1 Tbs. granulated sugar
-2 tsp. baking powder
-1/2 tsp. kosher salt
-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

Mix the wet ingredients (including the honey but minus the vanilla), beating lightly until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet base.  When mixed, add the vanilla.  Make sure not to over-mix the batter. 

I used the Terrapin Moo-Hoo Chocolate stout for my cakes

Grease a stove top pan or an electric griddle. Pre-heat to approximately 400 degrees or medium-high.

When the pan has thoroughly heated, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface of the pan.  When bubbles start to appear around the edges, gently slide a thin spatula under the cake and quickly flip.  Cook for approximately 1 additional minute.

Forget the syrup, just top with some light confectioners sugar, and enjoy!

Eat good food.  Drink good beer.  And above all, stay classy!
