Pancakes

This is a family recipe that we have been eating as long as I can remember. Pancakes were a special breakfast for mornings after all our friends had slept over or when we had a special family breakfast on a Sunday morning. We would drown them in butter and honey, or a preserve or jam, or sugar and lime and they were spectacular.  They are extremely easy and inexpensive  to make.

Pancakes

1 cup flour

1 cup milk

1 egg

Pinch of Salt (optional)

1 tbsp sugar (optional)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Butter for frying

Place the flour, milk, and egg in a bowl and beat until smooth. Heat a frying pan, and place a little butter in it, to coat the pan well. Pour in a little batter, and tilt the pan to evenly spread across it. Allow the pancake to brown and then flip it over and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Notes:

* Makes 6-8 pancakes, depending on the size of your frying pan.

*Beat the sugar and vanilla into the batter to make the pancakes sweet, and salt when making them savory. 

*Stuff with Barbeque Pork and Beans for a delicious dinner.
