North Woods Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk (I use powdered dry milk, reconstituted)
• 1 egg (add 2 if you want more protein)
• 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.

2. 2

   In a smaller bowl, mix together the sugar, milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla.

3. 3

   Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until smooth.

4. 4

   Let set for about 5-10 minutes for the flour to absorb the milk mixture.

5. 5

   Pour 1/4 cup batter onto a preheated griddle (mine is set at 325 degrees).

6. 6

   Brown on both sides and serve hot with butter, syrup, fresh berries, or roll them up and eat plain like my son does.

7. 7

   I sometimes add chocolate chips to each pancake individually, after pouring onto the griddle. This keeps the chips from all clumping at the bottom of the bowl or someone not getting any chips in their pancake.
