Standard Recipe For Pancakes (Old Five Roses Cookbook)

1 1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla


Mix and sift dry ingredients. Beat egg thoroughly; add milk.

Make a "well" in centre of dry ingredients. Slowly add the egg and milk mixture. Mix only enough to make mixture smooth.

Add melted butter and flavouring.

Try a little on hot griddle.

When a thicker pancake is preferred, use slightly less milk. For savoury pancakes, omit sugar and vanilla.
