Best Ever Pancakes

I think I have mentioned one of my favorite cookbooks before...A PTO cookbook from an elementary school where my grandma used to work. I love this cookbook because it has recipes that real people make....and those real people must think the recipes are fantastic or they wouldn't have submitted them to be published in the PTO fundraiser cookbook. Sometimes, I look through cookbooks and they have a few things I would make, but I would never buy the cookbook because other recipes have crazy ingredients or seem really complicated...not that I don't like a challenge every once in a while.
Anyway, as I flipped through my favorite, well one of my favorite, cookbook I saw "Best Ever Pancake" and I had to make them. We make pancakes every Friday morning to celebrate making to the end of the week, so I'm always on the lookout for a good recipe. These were great. They were nice and buttery, without being super rich.  We will definitely keep this recipe in our rotation.

1-1/2 c flour (I used half whole wheat/half white)
1-3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 Tbl sugar
1 c milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten (or 1 egg + 1Tbl flax seed + 3 Tbl water)
3 Tbl butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in large bowl.
  • Combine milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well. 
  • Scoop 1/4c batter onto hot griddle. Flip when edges begin to turn.
