Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl whisk together:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3 tbls sugar
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
Wet Ingredients:
I like to do this in my 2-cup pyrex measuring glass:
1 cup milk
1 egg
Mix the two together with a fork and then slowly mix in
3 tbls melted butter
If you do it slowly enough you wont curdle the mixture
Get that griddle piping hot. about 325 degrees
If you haven't bought a big electric griddle yet GET ONE!! At Christmas time they are under $20 and the most fantastic way to cook off a whole package of bacon or make sliders by the dozen. If you are doing this in a skillet, it will probably take many rounds.
Once the griddle is ready, pour the wet into the dry and give it a quick whisk until just incorporated. If you see bubbles forming you did it right. I use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop out and pour my batter, but you can make them any size you want. My griddle makes 8 pancakes at a time at this size though, and the whole thing only takes 2 rounds.
flip when the edges start to set and the bubbles start popping through.
ENJOY!!
If you have lots of kids or just love pancakes, double the recipe and then freeze the extras in bags. you can microwave them or throw a few in the toaster oven to reheat them.
**Added bonus** Since these already have sugar in them, they do NOT require syrup. This is ideal for really young kids and toddlers that would make a sticky nightmare of your table. Just hand them a whole one and let them eat it dry.
Fun variations:
-you can substitute half of a cup of flour for wheat flour and it doesn't change the consistency.
-1 tablespoon of flax seed ground up in your coffee grinder, and added to the batter at the end gives it an almost nutty taste and added protein.
-I'm sure you can add blueberries to the pancakes after you pour them. I don't like cooked fruit, so I would would never:)
