Almost as easy as using a mix, these pancakes made from scratch are a quick fix.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Maple syrup for accompaniment
Butter for accompaniment
In a large bowl combine flour, milk, beaten eggs, 1/3 cup melted butter, sugar, baking powder and salt until just blended.
Preheat a non-stick electric frying pan to 350F (175C) (or non-stick skillet).
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into pan per pancake. Cook until bubbles just begin to pop and sides appear dry. Flip once; cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden brown.
Serve with maple syrup and remaining butter on the side.
