Pancakes

Since I compared Amy's pancakes to mine, I thought it might be good to put mine up for the test.

1 c. flour
1 heaping t. baking powder
scant 1 t. salt
4 T. sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 eggs, separated
1 c. milk

Stir together dry ingredients. In a small bowl whip the egg whites until stiff. Add the other liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Carefully fold in egg whites. Cook on a heated griddle.

To use sour milk or buttermilk, add 1 t. baking soda and decrease the baking powder to 1/2 t. I also mix in all sorts of things: mashed banana, left-over oatmeal, blueberries. It is sort of a hodge podge recipe, but it works well for us. The key is to flip the pancakes over when the bubbles are still wet, if that makes any sense.
