While I was in Kansas City last weekend, my brother ran out of pre-mixed pancake mix, so I decided to make some from scratch. The key to good American pancakes is to have the pad reasonably medium-hot, and to drop a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the pan. Drop the pancake batter in via a ladel. Wait for the edges to bubble. Flip them once.
My SIL said these were better than iHop’s, but really there’s nothing that special about them. They came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook (tripled for 3 kids and 3 adults and facilitating leftovers for the next day).

——– ———— ——————————–
1 Egg
1 c All-purpose flour*
3/4 c Milk
1 tb Sugar
2 tb vegetable oil
3 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Salt
Beat egg with hand beater until fluffy; beat in
remaining ingredients just until smooth. For thinner
pancakes, stir in additional 1/4 cup milk. Grease
heated griddle if necessary. (To test griddle sprinkle
with few drops water. If bubbles skitter around, heat
is just right.)
For each pancake, pour about 3 tb batter from tip of
large spoon or from pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook
pancakes until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and
ccok other sides until golden brown. Nine 4-inch
pancakes; 100 calories per pancake.

blueberries (thawed and well drained).

and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour for the all-purpose
flour. Use 1 cup milk. If desired, sprinkle 1 ts whole
bran or wheat germ over each pancake just before
turning. 10 pancakes.
Buttermilk Pancakes: Substitute 1 cup buttermilk for
the milk. Decrease baking powder to 1 ts and beat in
1/2 ts baking soda. 10 pancakes.
Whole Wheat Pancakes: Substitute whole wheat flour for
the all-purpose flour and packed brown sugar for the
granulated sugar.
*If using sellÿsing flour, omit baking powder and
salt.

The pancakes sound great, but I want some of what you were drinking when you typed this. I can’t find any of that sellÿsing flour. ;o}

You WISH I was on something. I actually copied that from a recipe website and didn’t spellcheck it.
This just goes to show that not everything is perfect, and that’s ok.
“Self-rising”, just in case someone needs it. hehe
You should also “cook”; not “ccok” AND I’m relatively sure “skitter” is a legal word.
