Jan's Pancakes

Pancakes

1 cup flour
1 Tb baking powder
1 Tb sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tb oil
1 egg & 3/4 cup milk
(if no eggs, 1 cup milk)

Mix dry ingredients together, then add liquids. Don't mix any longer than necessary...Betsy believes if you mix it less, they'll be fluffier. Melt butter on your tawa or frying pan and then spoon pancake batter on til desired size. When air bubbles pop through the top, it's okay to flip the pancakes.

Tip: to avoid burning your pancakes or undercooking them, sprinkle some water on the tawa or skillet before adding the butter. If the water hisses and immediately evaporates, it's too hot. If the water bubbles and sits around, it's not hot enough. The water should bubble and gradually sizzle away.

Julianne's Banana Pancakes: slice your bananas long ways and fry them in butter on the tawa. Then flip them and eventually mush them up before adding them to the batter.

  1. We made these pancakes this morning. They were very good...we had to add a lot more milk, but our measuring cup for the flour may be big.
