OLD FASHIONED FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat griddle so that a drop of water beads when dropped on it.
• Combine dry ingredients.
• Combine wet ingredients and beat well. (Do this quickly as the butter will tend to set up when it hits the cold milk).
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients.
• Mix but not too much. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
• Drop a couple tablespoons for each pancake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear in batter and bottom is golden brown.
• Serve with real butter and real maple syrup.

FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.
• Whisk the butter into the milk mixture, add to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.
• Keeping the skillet at medium to medium low heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make one or two more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
