(recipe serves 3, multiply as needed)

• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract
• whole milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp canola or vegetable oil
• Butter/spread
• Pancake syrup
• Powdered sugar (optional)

Mix the ingredients into a batter, adding only enough milk to make the batter thin and creamy.  Heat griddle on medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil.  Make sure your griddle is level!  Use a big spoon or ladle to pour batter onto griddle in circles, cook a couple minutes on each side till the pancakes are light brown.  Put on individual plates to serve.  Offer butter, syrup, and powdered sugar at the table.
