PANCAKES - Follow Popcakes recipe, except barely stir ingredients together. Bat ter should look wet and shiny, like bowl of thick-curd cottage cheese. Don’t worry about streaks of flour and lumps. Heat skillet and melt just enough oil or shortening to cover bottom. Drop batter by heaping tablespoon into skillet and gently pat each mound of batter down; don’t flatten clumps of batter. Turn as s oon as edges of pancake look dry; don’t wait for bubbles to break over top before turning.
