Pancakes

From: Betty Crocker's New Cookbook

Our favorite basic pancake recipe. A Saturday morning favorite!

1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

1. Beat egg in medium bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 1-2 tablespoons milk.
2. Heat griddle over medium heat (or to 375°). Grease griddle with butter if necessary (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.)
3. For each pancake, pour slightly less than ¼ cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook pancake until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.
