Fantastic Pancake Recipe

I made these the other day. They work out really well. I used vegetable oil instead of butter because it's easy to mix in. I might try it without baking powder next time because I could slightly taste it in the pancakes. Or maybe that's just the result of eating so many! I had them with Greek yoghurt and strawberry jam. It was the best.

(I can't find the website where I found the recipe, so I'll just tell you the basics)

How to make pancakes

*Insert generic picture of pancakes*

1 cup flour
2 tbsp. sugar
2tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tbsp. vegetable oil for frying

Note: if I didn't want the taste of baking powder, maybe I'd use self-raising. Although, I don't mind crepe-style pancakes, so I might not bother with the raising agent at all.

Steps

1. Put on the oven to keep the pancakes warm (optional)
2. In medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Put aside.
3. Heat pan over medium heat. Moisten a paper towel with oil and rub over pan (or you could just buy that spray oil stuff).
4. You know the drill after that. Wait for the bubbles to appear, then flip. The hardest thing for me was finding the right heat setting and timing the flip. Usually it's just waiting till their golden brown, but I think the stove here likes to change heat settings without permission. I've never had such trouble before.
5. Put on your favourite topping! Lemon and sugar is nice, and if you have it with jam and yoghurt, the yoghurt sort of tastes like cream, only it's healthier. Yay!
