Before heading out together for the first day of school -- Niko and Lena in kindergarten and Gregory in preschool -- I wanted the kids to have a good back-to-school breakfast. Everyone loves pancakes. Niko likes them plain. Lena likes a little syrup. And Gregory likes to roll them up and eat them out of his hands. And even though they're easy to make from scratch (if you make up a batch of homemade mix ahead of time), it's one of those things I rarely think to do in the morning.
But when I do, I typically make twice as many as we need. After all, they are easy to reheat the following morning. Just reheat the griddle (no need to grease it even) and throw the pancakes on for 30 seconds to a minute on each side.
Homemade pancake mix
6 cups all-purpose, unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
1 Tablespoon kosher salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
Combine in a zipper bag. Be sure to shake before using.
To make pancakes2 cups pancake mix
2 cups milk
2 Tablespoons white vinegar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 Tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing pan)
2 cups fruit (blueberries, bananna slices, etc.), optional
Put pancake mix in a large bowl and set aside. Mix together milk and vinegar. Add eggs and wisk to combine. Slowly add melted butter while stirring. Add liquid mixture to pancake mix and stir to combine (don't worry about getting out all the lumps). Heat a griddle or fry pan and coat with butter. use paper towel to wipe off most of the butter. Ladle pancake batter onto griddle, top with fruit (if using) and cook until bubbles pop on the top of pancakes. Flip and cook on remaining side until done.

Wet, sloppy ground require rubber boots or snake boots (if you hunt in the south). true religion jeans These are the tallest boots you'll find. Be sure your ankles fit snugly, so the boots won't pull off in the mud; and you'll want side cinches or buckles at the top to eliminate a noisy, sloppy fit when you walk--and to help seal out moisture. A removable foot bed is a plus, babyliss pro hair dryer as rubber boots become damp and don't dry out easily overnight unless you use boot dryers. Be sure to check the outer sole for cleats or lugs--a necessity for good traction in the mud.
