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.

Steps:

• Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared griddle. Cook until bubbles form, the tops of the pancakes are dry, and the bottom is browned. Flip over and cook until done. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve the flapjacks hot with butter, maple or fruit syrup, or any other desired toppings.
