Directions
Heat griddle slowly while mixing batter. To test griddle, sprinkle with drops of water. If bubbles "skitter" around, heat is just right. -grease griddle if necessary-
Beat egg. Beat in remaining ingreadients until batter is fairly smooth. Pour batter from the tip of a large spoon for round pancakes.
Turn pancakes as soon as they are puffed and full of bubbles, but before the bubbles all break. Brown on the other side, then remove from griddle.
Keep pancakes hot by placing between folds of a warm towen in a warm oven - - or eat them fast!
Makes 16 4" pancakes.
