Pancakes

250 ml (1 cup) flour

10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder

1 ml (1/8 tsp) salt

30 ml (2 tblsp) sugar

250 ml (1 cup) milk

1 egg, beaten

30 ml (2 tblsp) oil or butter (just melted)

• Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl; make a well in the centre (hole) of the dry ingredients
• Combine milk, beaten egg and oil (or just melted butter) in small bowl
• Add liquid ingredients to dry—to prevent lumps, stir, don’t beat, to blend
• Drop batter by 50 ml (¼ cup) onto preheated frying pan; when bubbles begin to break the on the surface, flip pancake; cook until golden brown.

Variation—cut out the sugar and use 15 ml (1 tblsp) pure vanilla extract
