Directions

• Beat all ingredients in a medium bowl with a hand beater until smooth.

  • For thinner pancakes, stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons of additional milk.

• Grease a heated griddle, if necessary, with shortening, using a pastry brush.

  • To see if griddle is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right.

• For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle.

• Cook until pancakes are puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.

• Makes 10 to 12 pancakes.
