Perfectly Puffy Pancakes

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbl plus 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups of milk

Directions

Sift flour, mix together with salt and 1 Tbl baking powder.  Add melted butter, eggs and milk until the batter has the consistency you desire.  Just before baking, add the last 1 tsp of baking powder for extra thick, fluffy pancakes.

Bake in a skillet in batches.  You can slice apples and add to the pancakes in the skillet, or add slices of bacon and onion, or tomato slices and onion, or just fry plain and use sweet or savory toppings of your choice.

In this family, applesauce and maple syrup are a favorite for sweet pancakes, bacon and onion for the savory variety.
