Basic Pancake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

• Add the milk, melted butter and egg in a mixing bowl and lightly beat
• Sift together the remaining ingredients.
• Add to the milk mixture
• Stir just enough to dampen the flour
• Add more milk, if necessary, to make the batter as thick as heavy cream

To cook: Test the griddle or frying pan for correct heat by sprinkling a few drops of water over it. They will "dance" when it is right. Heat the griddle or frying pan over moderate heat. Grease lightly with butter. Use a 1/4 cup measure to dip the batter onto the griddle or pan. Pour into a heart-shaped pancake mold.Cook until the cakes are full of bubbles and the undersurface is nicely browned. Lift with a pancake turner or spatula and brown the other side. Serve immediately with plenty of butter and warm maple syrup.
