Simple Pancake Stack

Serves: 4 (8 medium pancakes)

Ingredients:

-1 ½ cups flour

-2 ½ tsp. baking powder

-1 tsp. salt

-3 Tbs. sugar

-1 cup milk

-3 eggs

-4 Tbs. unsalted butter,

   melted and cooled

-Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a bowl. Put the milk, eggs, and cooled melted butter into a second large bowl, then mix with a wire whisk. Add the sifted dry ingredients and beat gently to make a thick batter. Be careful not to overwork the mixture-it doesn’t matter if the batter isn’t smooth.

-Heat the prepared griddle or skillet over medium heat. Reduce the heat. Pour about 3 Tbs. of batter into the skillet and cook in batches of 3-4 for 1 minute over low heat until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface and the underside is golden brown. Turn the pancake over and cook the other side for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remainder- use 3 Tbs. of batter for each pancake.
