Thin Pancakes
These pancakes have long been a standard in our household. I cannot say that the formula is better than others. It has been such a hit with family and guests that I have had little incentive to look at alternatives.
I am sure these cakes can be made with a thick batter, but we have preferred them thin, like a crepe about 1/8 inch thick, cooked rapidly to a rich, dark brown. Such evenly browned pancakes are not only dramatic visually, but cook quickly. There are two keys: hot griddle and thin batter.
We used to cook these on a large cast iron skillet, but later acquired a rectangular griddle spanning two burners on the stove. We have not used this griddle generally as much as expected, but it has proven just the thing for pancakes.
The finished pancakes freeze well.
Serves 4
Flour, 2 cups
Sugar, 2 tablespoons
Baking powder, 2 teaspoons
Salt to taste
Mixing bowl
Butter, 4 tablespoons (2 ounces), melted
Eggs, 2
Milk, 2 cups
Water
Another mixing bowl
