American Pancake

Ingredients:

•2 cups all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring

•2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

•3 tablespoons granulated sugar

•1/2 teaspoon salt

•2 large eggs

•1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups milk

•2 tablespoons melted butter

Preparation:

Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 1/2 cups of milk; add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more milk. Cook on a hot, greased griddle, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom; turn and brown the other side. Recipe for pancakes serves 4.
