Pancakes

1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil or melted butter
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs, beaten

Blend dry ingredients together. Add the oil, milk, vanilla and beaten eggs and stir just until blended. Over-stirring causes pancakes to be rubbery.

Heat frying pan with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour in about 1/3 cup batter. (If desired, immediately sprinkle on berries, granola, or whatever!) When the pancake is bubbly and starts to look dry around the edges, flip and cook the other side. Pancakes should be golden brown. Serve plain with butter, or with syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or honey.
