ForeverMama's Old Time Pancakes
- 1 12 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 14-1 12 cups milk (refer to note below)
- Sift flour before measuring.
- Into a medium sized bowl, resift flour with the salt, sugar and baking powder.
- In a small bowl, add egg and beat.
- Add butter and milk to egg mixture and combine thoroughly.
- Form the flour mixture into a well.
- Pour milk/egg mixture into the well and with a wooden spoon gently combine, being careful not to over mix, making sure that it's at the right consistency.
- Let the pancake batter sit for a few minutes or more.
- I've made these ahead of running an errand and have placed the batter into the refrigerator.
- I find that if it sits a bit, it develops a better rise.
- Pour the pancake batter onto a medium/hot skillet that has been buttered.
- Once the edges firm up and the tops bubble slightly will indicate that it's time to flip them over.
- Cook on other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve with maple syrup or other syrup of your choice.
- NOTE: the amount of milk used depends on the humidity in the air.
- More humidity - less milk.
- Dry environment - more milk.
- The amount of liquid used makes a difference if you sift or not sift the flour.
- Not sifting results in more flour than indicated.
