Pancakes

Directions

Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl.

Make a well in the center.

In a small bowl blend together the egg, milk and salad oil.

Beat with a whisk or rotary beater until smooth.

Slowly heat griddle.

Grease it lightly if necessary.

Heat until a drop of cold water bounces on the hot griddle (or follow instructions for your griddle).

Add liquid ingredients all at once to the flour mixture.

Beat with a rotary beater until smooth.

Pour batter by the ¼ cupful onto the griddle.

Don’t crowd pancakes, or they will be difficult to turn.

Bake until pancake is puffed, the surface is full of bubbles (with just a few beginning to break), and the underside is golden brown.

Turn pancakes only once.

Serve immediately with plenty of butter and syrup.
