Kodiak Pancake Recipe
In our kitchen, mornings are extra special with a tradition we all love – making Kodiak Pancakes. As a mom, it makes me really happy to serve these yummy pancakes to my two kids. They absolutely love it!
We start by mixing flour, milk, eggs, and vanilla in a big bowl. My kids enjoy helping, especially when it’s time to crack the eggs. We turn pancake making into a fun family activity, and our kitchen is filled with laughter and good vibes.
The cool part is when we add whipped egg whites to the batter. My kids are always amazed to see the peaks form. They take turns mixing it in, feeling proud of their pancake-making skills.
When the pancakes cook on the skillet, the whole kitchen smells amazing. My kids set the table, and we can’t wait to dig in. The first pancake hits the plate, signaling the start of our delicious breakfast.
But the best part is when I bring out the Nutella jar. Their eyes light up as I spread Nutella on each pancake. It melts into the warm pancakes, making them extra yummy. Watching my kids enjoy these pancakes with Nutella is the best feeling ever.
As we sit together, eating and chatting, I feel really happy. It’s not just about the pancakes; it’s about being together, having fun, and enjoying a tasty breakfast as a family.
