Rosa Parks Pancakes #Recipe






December 5, 1955 the Montgomery Alabama bus boycott began in response to the arrest of Rosa Parks. Parks had refused to give up her seat on a municipal bus to a white man. The African American community had organizes a boycott that would last until December 20, 1956. On that same date a U.S. Supreme Court ruling would integrate the public transportation system.





1 cup flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup peanut butter (I used Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator)
1 tablespoon shortening or oil (for the pan)

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and set aside.
In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk, and peanut butter together until smooth.
Combine the dry and wet mixtures. To keep the pancakes tender, don't over mix. A few small lumps are ok.
Add the oil or shortening to a hot griddle or frying pan (Ms. Parks specified 275°F). And cook for about 60 seconds on each side. Enjoy with maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of jam.
