MOM'S PANCAKES We've been making this recipe for years, and it's a longtime family favorite. Weekends and pancakes seem to go together beautifully when we've all got a little more time to enjoy each other's company. We always heat our syrup on the stovetop, and we also add cooked spiced apples to the mix as well. Use real butter on these pancakes. It's worth the indulgence.
Ingredients All-purpose flour, cup Sugar, 1 tablespoon Baking powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, a dash Whole or 2% milk, cup Egg, 1 whole, lightly beaten Butter, 2 tablespoons, melted Directions Preheat the griddle or pan, greasing the bottom lightly with butter or cooking spray. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, add the milk, beaten egg, and melted butter and stir well.
Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients. Caution: stir the mixture only long enough until the dry ingredients are moist. Overstirring can ruin your pancakes.
Pour the batter onto the grill or into the frying pan, using about one quarter cup of batter. Cook until bubbles form on the top surface and the edges firm up, then turn the pancakes once.
Makes 4 to 5 large pancakes.
