I have a fond memory of a chilly summer day during lunch break when I tagged along on my two friends' quest for energy drinks at a nearby grocery store. On our way as we tried to distract ourselves from the frigid air one of us brought up cooking, and my friend told us about when she tried to make pancakes and almost burnt the whole kitchen down along with the cakes. Now here I am with a recipe for pancakes. 

TIPS AND TRICKS: 

~Wells are taking a spoon and forming a hole in the middle of the dry ingredient mixture, big enough to put an egg in. 

~ Make sure once you put in a wet ingredient that you don't stir until all the wet ingredients are in so it's less clumpy

~Look at the sides of the pancakes to see if the bottom is good to flip. If too early the pancake will break and if too late, well...you'll get a crispy pancake.

Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups of flour

-2 Tablespoons of sugar

- 1 Tablespoon of baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon of salt

-1 egg beaten

-1 1/2 cups of milk

-3 Tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions:

-Put dry ingredients in a medium bowl(flour, sugar, baking powder, salt,)

-Make a well in the dry mix.

-Put the beaten egg in the well along with milk and butter to overflow the well.

-Mix together with a whisk or spoon, (do not beat with mixer!!) until all mixed together and there are few tiny lumps.(Optional:you can also stir in a small amount of chocolate chips as well,)

-Heat pan to medium high, let a spoonful of butter or a tablespoon of oil melt on the pan so the batter won't stick.

-Pour batter with a measuring cup of 1/2 or 1 cup, but decide how big of a pancake you can flip. (Learn from the batter too, if it looks too thick put more water in it, too thin, a little more flour.)

*How to tell when the bottom is cooked:  If the top is bubbling then it is good to flip and the other side is more quick to cook.

-Top cooked pancakes with butter or syrup
