Ingredients:
1 cup flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. oil or melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 - 3/4 cup milk
Directions:
In a small bowl, sift the flour. Add the baking powder, cinnamon. salt and sugar. Mix well.
Beat egg and vanilla with hand beater or a fork. Blend in the oil or butter and 1/2 cup of the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid, mix well. Add the rest of the milk for thinner batter. Grease heated griddle or frying pan if necessary. Pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake mix into the griddle or frying pan and spread. When bubbles appear on top, flip over and cook until other side browns. Remove and place on paper towel. Serve with maple syrup, honey or jam.
Variations:
1. Buttermilk pancakes: substitute 1 cup buttermilk for milk. However, decrease the baking powder amount to 1 tsp. and add 1/2 tsp. baking soda.
2. Cornmeal pancakes: substitute 1/2 cup cornmeal for 1/2 cup of flour.
3. Wholewheat pancakes: substitute wholewheat flour for flour. Use brown sugar.
4. Seasoned pancakes (my favorite): remove the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon from the basic recipe and add chopped chive, celery, chadon beni to taste.
