Simple Pancakes
"A very simple pancake recipe using ingredients I always have on hand. This is my Mom's recipe; making and eating them always reminds me of Saturday mornings, cartoons, and childhood. These are not big fluffy pancakes, nor are they thin; they are somewhere in between. Serve with butter, syrup, and jam."

directions
- Mix together the egg and sugar.
- Whisk in vanilla and milk.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
- Whisk dry ingredients into wet, leaving a few lumps.
- Do not overbeat.
- Preheat a skillet on med-low to medium.
- Butter the skillet and drop by large spoonfuls, spreading the batter out.
- When many bubbles appear (a minute or two), flip pancakes over.
- Cook for another minute or two.
- Lightly press in the center of a pancake; if it springs back, they are done.
- Between skillets of pancakes, wipe out the brown butter with a paper towel and re-butter, as this will help give you light pancakes.

Quick and easy. -
These tasted more like egg than cake - we thought the flour/milk to egg ratio was a bit off but we went ahead and made them exactly as stated The batter was very liquidy and the resulting pancakes did not have a very nice texture -
This is the best tasting and easiest pancake recipe ever! I have made it many tines and am about to make some right now! -
These were just right for my DH and I...(I did double the recipe)...the second batch I 'dressed up' a bit by adding ground cinnamon and pecans. Thanks for this very nice recipe, Boxerwing. -

I work as a part-time nurse in our city's burn unit. In my spare time, I really enjoy browsing cookbooks, cooking magazines, and the web for recipes. I am always looking for new ways to combine common ingredients to mix things up a bit. I try to avoid recipes that call for bizarre or hard-to-get ingredients or require a special kitchen widget I will only use once. If someone were to give me something unusual, I certainly would give it a try! However, my husband and I are adventurous diners and are always willing to try something new at least twice (in case there was a problem the first time!) We enjoy everything from German to Japanese; we want to try Vietnamese next.
My husband and I own a Gold Wing motorcycle and love to travel in the warmer months. We also have three dogs: Roxy, who is a rather large (42 lb.) fox terrier cross (shown above, with me!), Shadow, who is pure-bred reverse-brindle boxer, and Maggie, a brindle boxer. They love it when "Mom" cooks because they know something yummy inevitably hits the floor!
