Making pancakes in the morning is a luxury; the buttery smell rejuvenates my spirit and brings me energy after my workout. Making traditional buttermilk pancakes is time consuming (need to measure each ingredient precisely and mixing buttermilk with butter needs two steps…etc) ; therefore, I often forgo the plan of making pancakes when I need to replenish my body right after my workout. However, the “rule of 1″ pancake recipe is an excellent “fast food” choice when hunger kicks in every morning after I train.

“Rule of 1″ Pancakes:

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of whole milk

Beat the egg in the milk and combine the wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Roughly stir the batter and you will have fluffy and hearty pancakes within five minutes!
