Pancakes

These are my dad's speciality. A family secret is to cook them in bacon drippings-- the payoff in taste is definitely worth all your friends calling you a hillbilly!

• 1 1/2 cups AP Flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter + more for  pan
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cup milk

Directions:

1. In a large griddle or frying pan set over medium high heat, melt butter or lard
2. Combine dry ingredients, add wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated (small lumps are okay!)
3. Allow batter to sit for about 5 minutes (resist the urge to stir again-- bubbles are forming that will make your cakes nice and fluffy)
4. Place about a pop can size circle of batter in the hot pan. Allow to cook until many bubbles are showing and the pancake lifts easily from the pan. Flip.
5. Check the bottom of the pancake, slide onto a plate and enjoy!
