Griddle Cakes

~ Father's Day Breakfast ~

Recipe from:
~ Joy of Cooking ~

Ingredients:

Sift before measuring:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Resift with:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 3/4 teaspoons double-acting baking powder

Combine:

• 1 to 2 beaten whole eggs
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 to 1 1/4 cups milk

Mix the liquid ingredients quickly into the dry ingredients. 

Test griddle: let a few drops of cold water fall on griddle. If the water bounces and sputters, the griddle is ready. If the water just sits and boils, the griddle is not hot enough. If the water vanishes, the griddle is too hot.

Cook about 2-3 minutes before turning. When bubbles appear on surface, but before they break, lift the cakes to check brownness. Turn and cook until done.

Makes about fourteen 4-inch Cakes
