Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 3/4 cups milk, *see note
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Direction:

  1. Beat egg with hand beater until fluffy; beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Grease a heated griddle.
  2. Pour about 3 tablespoons batter from tip of large spoon or from pitcher onto hot griddle.
  3. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges (tiny bubbles will begin to form).
  4. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. Flipping once should be enough. The first pancake isn’t always the best one.
Note: Buttermilk, yogurt, or sour cream may be substituted for some or all of the milk. This may cause the batter to be too thick or too thin; adjust accordingly by adding milk to thin or flour to thicken. When you use a sour ingredient, cut the baking powder by 1/2 tablespoon and add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can add powdered buttermilk to the milk (a good thing to have on the shelf).
Makes about 18 four inch pancakes.
