Father's Day Pancakes with Homemade Whipped Cream

For the Pancakes:

1. Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Give a mix.
2. Combine together the milk, egg, and vanilla in a measuring cup. Pour that into the bowl along with the melted butter and mix until just put together. Leave a bit clumpy.
3. If you find the batter too thick — doesn’t pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup or bottle smoothly — fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching consistency.
4. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
5. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease pan.
6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape.
7. When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
8. Serve with honey, maple syrup, bacon, fruit, ice cream or frozen yoghurt, or enjoy plain!

For the Homemade Whipped Cream:

1. In a mixer, combine 2 cups whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
2. Mix on medium speed for about 10-15 minutes or until fluffy.
