Plain Pancakes
(Makes around a dozen 4" pancakes or 6 larger ones.)
2 eggs
5 Tbsp butter
1 cup milk
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until they are thoroughly blended.
Put the butter and the milk in a small saucepan and warm over low
heat until the butter has melted. Set aside and allow to cool a
little --- don't add this mixture to the eggs while it's hot or
the eggs will cook prematurely. Stir the butter mixture into the
eggs and mix well. Put the flour, sugar,baking powder, and salt
into a bowl and stir with a fork until well mixed.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir only until
dry ingredients are well moistened. Don't overmix.
Heat a griddle or skillet until a few drops of water dance on it,
then lightly film with grease. Drop 2 or 3 Tbsp. of batter for each
pancake on the griddle...Use larger amount for larger cake. Cook
until bubbles break on the surface. Turn the pancake over and cook
another 30 seconds, or until the bottom is lightly browned. Serve
the pancakes hot.
Chopped fruit can be added once the bubbles form as the first side
of the pancake cooks.
