#2133 - Vanilla Pancakes

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 1/2 cups flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt (up to 1 tsp. if you wish)
1 TBSP white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 TBSP butter (melted)
1 TBSP vanilla

Into a bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt. Add white sugar--stir with a whisk. Add egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla--stir with a whisk until pancake batter develops. Grease a skillet. Turn heat to medium. Pour some of the batter slowly into the skillet until pancake forms. When bubbles form all over the top of the pancake, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until bottom is browned. The pan will get hotter as you go, so subsequent pancakes will take less time--watch them closely or they will burn.
