PUFFY PANCAKES


My son and his friends always Beg me to make these pancakes. This batch isn't too fluffy. Probably b/c I get a little heavy handed with the milk. First batch I ever made was about 1.5 x the fluff of these. You still need more than a cup, but not too much more for more fluff. Sometimes we throw in chocolate chips (A big hit) Today I broke out bananas, raspberries and whipped cream. Yum!

3 C flour
6 Tbs sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbs baking powder
3 eggs
1/3 C canola oil
1+ C milk


Mix the dry ingredients.
Mix the wet ingredients.
Combine wet & dry.
Add extra milk, if needed.
Cook over medium heat.
(I never mix things separately. All goes in the bowl together).
