Flapjacks Fritter Binding Batter Recipes

OLD FASHIONED FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients and beat well. (Do this quickly as the butter will tend to set up when it hits the cold milk).
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
• Mix but not too much. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Drop a couple tablespoons for each pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear in batter and bottom is golden brown.
• Serve with real butter and real maple syrup.
