My Cooking Adventures

This is so easy to do, I'm really not sure why more people don't make pancakes like this?  It's called from scratch.  My mom thinks I'm some kind of baking wizard when I make these, to which I of course eat up all of her praise when she says things like that.  But it's so simple, and so much tastier than a box mix (ahem Bisquick).  However I do have one tip - I have tried pancakes on various cooking surfaces, and an electric griddle has been the most successful versus using a skillet on the stove.  Maybe I'm not that great of a cook, but those flat top griddles are better at thorough cooking + not steaming up when hit with butter.

1 cup flour
1tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 tbsp cooking oil

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture; set aside.

In another medium mixing bowl combine the egg, milk, and cooking oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).

Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet (I like to use butter to grease the surface, or more cooking oil). Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side or till pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Serve warm.
