Heavenly Buttermilk Pancakes

I usually make these Heavenly Buttermilk Pancakes quite often, especially in the summer. They are so good. My family enjoys them as much as I do. This is a really easy recipe, yet so delish. It's also a family recipe.

Ingredients for Pancakes:

                                                  2 C. Flour
                                                  2 T. Sugar
                                                  1 T. Baking Powder
                                                  1/2 t. Salt
                                                  1/4 C. Oil
                                                  2 Eggs
                                                   2 C. Buttermilk



                                                              Instructions:

1. Put the Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk together, until well combined.
2. Then in another smaller bowl put the Oil, Eggs and Buttermilk and whisk together until well combined.
3. Next put the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients bowl, mix it with a fork. Do not mix it alot. The reason is, the more you mix it the less fluffy the Pancakes are going to be. We want the Pancakes to be as fluffy as possible, but still mixed.
4. Get a quarter measuring cup and scoop the batter out ( using the quarter cup) onto a griddle. When you start to see bubbles on the pancake, flip it.
5. Add any topping you desire.
6. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Mom's Birthday Cake

My mom's favorite cake is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Today we celebrated her birthday, and even though I don't personally like carrot cake, I love her so I made it for her. I made the 3-layer cake and frosting all by myself, and decorated it with the help of my aunt. I used a cake decorating tip to finish it, and I like making it look really pretty when it's all decorated. I put candles on top in the shape of 40, cuz that's how old my mom is.

The recipes I used are adapted from a recipe I found on the Food Network website, here

Pictures taken by my oldest sister:
You can see the thinner middle layer, and the piping around the outer top edge of the cake. Happy birthday mom!
