MOLLY'S MOST EXCELLENT PANCAKES



First of all, to make the very best pancakes ever, you need an electric griddle. They cook pancakes to perfection. You will never have to throw the first one away because you didn't gauge the pan temperature, the griddle does all the work. And they clean up very nice with a little baking soda and water.
Also, USE BUTTERMILK. Truly good pancakes are all made with buttermilk.

1 cup flour
2 TB sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

1 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk)
1 egg
1 TB oil
Fresh or frozen blueberries, if desired.
(If using frozen, thaw them out first and dab with a paper towel to drain
excess moisture)

375 electric griddle

Whisk the dry ingredients, then add the buttermilk, egg and oil and stir until well blended.
If you are adding blueberries, add them to the pancake rounds after you pour the batter on the griddle. The blueberries don't get mushed by the stirring process that way.
This recipe makes about 5 or 6 pancakes, double it for more.
Any leftovers freeze well if you wrap them up  nice and tight.
