Grandpa's Pancakes!

The mere mention of pancakes sends our kids into a frenzy.  Pancakes in our house are not just pancakes, they are Grandpa's pancakes.  It does not matter who makes them, they will always and forever be Grandpa's pancakes.  This a super simple pancake mix and once you see how easy (and cheap) it is, you will never go back to that yellow and blue box ever again!  My kids can not agree on what kind of pancakes they want so I usually add the extras as I'm cooking.  One, likes blueberries, one likes corn (don't ask), I like banana's and walnuts.  You can get as creative as you want with the extras.  I've actually tried bacon and that turned out pretty good (bacon on anything is good)!



Ingredients:
2 cup of Milk (2% works well but you can use skim, buttermilk, whole, etc.)
2 Eggs
2 cups of All Purpose Flour
4 tsp. of Rumsford Baking Powder (according to Grandpa, it has to be Rumsford)
4 tbsp. of Sugar
1 tsp. of Salt
4 to 6 tbsp. of Melted Unsalted Butter

Directions:
Whisk the milk and egg in a bowl.  Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a separate large bowl.  Slowly pour the milk and egg mixture into the bowl that contains the other ingredients and whisk but do not over beat!  Pour the melted butter in with the rest of the ingredients and give it a quick stir.  If everyone in your party wants the same add-in, mix that into the batter now, otherwise you can add the add-in to each individual cake while it's cooking (before flipping, duh!).  Cook on a butter greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium, medium-low heat until bubbles begin to form on the perimeter of the pancake.  Flip quickly and continue cooking until the pancakes are cooked throughout.  You can keep the pancakes in a warmed oven until ready to serve.  Short stack, short stack coming up!

**This also makes a can't beat waffle mix, just use half the amount of sugar that you would for pancakes.
