Big Batch Pancakes

We love pancakes around our house, and this is the recipe we've adjusted until it's big enough for our family of 9 (with a bit left over).  So if you ever need to make a big batch of pancakes, here you go!

Big Batch Pancakes
Stir dry ingredients in bowl:
4 cups flour (I usually use half wheat and half white unbleached)
4 T sugar
2T + 2t baking powder
1 t salt

Blend together, then add to the dry ingredients:
4 eggs
4 1/2 - 5 1/2 c of milk (depending on how thick or thin you like your pancakes)
1/2 c melted butter

Mix with whisk to remove big lumps, then cook on 350' griddle.

Oh, the Wonder!

Last week, I was thrilled to pieces when we found butternut squash at the grocery store. I have come to adore butternut squash, and I was like a little kid in my excitement. It was 90 degrees today, but I thoroughly enjoyed our squash at supper... the taste that signals the coming of autumn and lots of other lusciousness.

Find some butternut squash and fix it like P-Dub. It is glorious!
