"Old Fashioned" Pancakes

This is the recipe I longed for when you girls were young. It's a simple recipe can be "whipped up" in a couple of minutes, and it tastes so good. Make extra and freeze them for some meal in the near future.

Old Fashioned Pancakes

Makes about 12 pancakes

Materials needed:
measuring cups: 1/4; 1/2; 3/4; 1 cup
measuring spoons: 1/2 teaspoon; teaspoon; tablespoon
4-cup "mixing" bowl
mixing spoon


Ingredients & Directions:
1 1/2 cups of unbleached flour (I usually mix 3/4 c whole wheat and 3/4 c unbleached)
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter (this makes a real difference in taste but you could use Earth Balance, canola oil, etc.)

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add egg to milk and mix, then add to dry ingredients. Add melted butter and stir all the wet and dry ingredients just until blended.

I use a 1/4 cup measure to "spoon" the mixture onto a heavy frying pan (you know that I use my cast irons) or griddle. Turn the pancakes over when they bubble and are dry around the edges. The second side won't take long to cook.

Enjoy!
