Old Fashioned Pancakes

I'm all about easy, homemade, and yummy flavors. this is so easy you will never have to open a box mix again. I even mix all the dry and store it. That way it's ready to go.

Ingredients
Makes 2 cups batter; 16 4-inch pancakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for serving
Vegetable oil, for the griddle
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

Directions

Place a heat-proof platter into a warm oven (at 200 degrees).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Whisk from the center, slowly incorporating the flour. Rest the batter for 10 minutes.
Heat a large well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or favorite griddle over medium-high heat. Swirl the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet (or use oil to coat the griddle) and immediately pour in 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles rise to the surface, flip the pancakes, slightly reduce the heat, and cook until the bottoms are golden and the centers are cooked, about 1 minute. (Rarely does the first pancake work because it takes a bit of time to get in the groove with the heat, fat, and batter.)
As the pancakes come out of the skillet, place them on the warm platter in the oven until ready to serve. Serve a stack of 3 pancakes, topped with more butter and the maple syrup.

This recipe belonged to my mother. I had her right it down one time. I miss placed it and came accross it a few moves later. So glad I did.

I've added bananas, cinamon sugar, dried strawberries and blueberries. It's so versital. I even added a touch of mapel extract to the batter it was so good. Even chocolate chops and some whip cream on top (YUMMY)
