Fluffy Pancakes

This recipe is adapted from one I found on www.allrecipes.com and it’s my favorite pancake recipe to date.  We usually add fresh blueberries one at a time right after we pour the batter on the griddle.  I have also added 1/4 cup chopped pecans to the batter which turned out really yummy!

** Note:  NOT a health-nut recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 and 1/2 cups of milk
• 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil (never olive oil!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients.  Combine the egg, milk, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl.  Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture just until moistened.

2. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle.  Turn when bubbles form on top of pancake.  Cook until second side is golden brown.
