We had a houseguest today, and I realized we had no breakfast meats available, so instead of the eggs & bacon I had planned, we wound up making pancakes. Rather than screwing around with experimental ingredients, I went digging for a plain "old fashioned" recipe, which I present here mostly for my own reference.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Sift together dry ingredients, mix in wet. Put on hot, oiled skillet 1/4 cup at a time.
Edited 11/13/2010: You know, when I first posted this I left out the mixing instructions because I figured they were so obvious they were unnecessary. Yet every time I refer back to this entry to make these pancakes, I wind up clicking through to the source recipe to make sure I'm doing it right. Apparently I'm just hardwire to recipe format. So I put the instructions in for my own reference, silly through they might be.
