GREAT-GRANDMOTHER'S PANCAKE/WAFFLE BATTER
Handed down in my family for generations. It's meant to be refrigerated overnight. However, if you must have your pancakes *now*, measure the baking powder in slightly rounded teaspoons instead of leveled off. Let the batter sit on the counter at room temp until it starts bubbling, to be sure that the necessary chemical reaction is taking place. It's very easy to 'draw' simple shapes as you pour the batter. Children adore hearts, stars, their initials, etc. Addendum 4/21/09: I will tell you quite honestly that I've been rather shocked by the recent spate of negative reviews. Frankly, I'm lost. All I can figure out is that those who hated them must have been eating them plain. And in that case, I can understand why they disliked them. These pancakes are meant to be smothered in butter and saturated with syrup. Should you choose to eat them 'naked', all bets are off. :)

Steps:
- Mix dry ingredients well.
- Add wet ingredients one at a time, in order listed, stirring well after each addition.
- Mixture will probably still be a little lumpy-- as long as flour is fully incorporated, this is not a problem.
- Cover batter and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat ungreased electric skillet or griddle to 400 degrees.
- Spoon pancake batter into skillet.
- (We like them'silver dollar' size-- about 2 tablespoons of batter).
- Cook until bubbles on the top disappear and bottom is nicely-browned and can be lifted easily with a spatula (approximately 3 minutes).
- Flip, and cook on other side until done.
- The batter is also wonderful for waffles-- just follow manufacturer's instructions regarding the setting to use, the volume your waffle iron will hold, etc.
- Serve hot, with butter and syrup (or sugar, or powdered sugar, or molasses, or sorghum, or fruit or whatever turns your tastebuds on).

GREAT EASY WAFFLES
This recipe has been handed down in my family and has become a favorite. If you have leftover waffles, they are great to freeze and then toast at a later time. I usually make a double recipe and then have plenty of leftovers for the kids to have for breakfast before school.

GREAT-GRANDMOTHER BLANCHE'S WAFFLES
This is a recipe that I got from my grandmother who in turn got it from her mother. GG Blanche was part of a card- playing group and whenever she hosted would make these waffles for the group she played with. Doubles and freezes wonderfully.

- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the waffles tough.

- Use a hot waffle iron: This will help the waffles cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the waffle iron: This will prevent the waffles from cooking evenly.
- Cook the waffles until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best when served hot and fresh.
