Pancakes

Whipped up some pancakes for breakfast this morning. If pressed I could probably make them without a recipe (I have in the past), but it's been a while and I wanted a guide for this instance. I just grabbed a basic recipe off of allrecipes. No fancy inclusions. No buttermilk. No whipped egg whites. Just plain pancakes. Tasty. Not super light or fluffy, but perfectly serviceable, comforting pancakes.

Pancakes
Slightly adapted from allrecipes
3 c. flour
2 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
6 Tbsp. butter, melted

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. (If you're planning on adding inclusions like berries or chocolate chips, now would be a good time to add them.)
2. Pour in milk, eggs, and butter. Stir to combine. (I was always told not to worry about lumps in pancake batter. Get the lumps out of your gravy and your cake batter, don't worry about the pancakes.)
3. Heat pan/skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil (preferably peanut oil). Add as many 1/4 c. dollops of batter as will comfortably fit in the pan (usually three or four).
4. When you start to see bubbles on the tops and/or sides of the pancakes, flip them over.
5. When the sides look dry (or you feel they're ready), remove from pan, add a tiny bit more oil, and start your next batch.
6. Serve with your favourite pancake toppings. Suggestions include: maple syrup, honey, butter and jam, fresh fruit and custard or whipped cream, fruit compote, Nutella, sugar and lemon juice, and yogurt.
