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).

MOM'S APPLESAUCE PANCAKES
This was passed down from my mother. I don't know where she got it, but it was always a special request at brunches. Serve with maple syrup or apple butter.

OAT PANCAKE/ WAFFLE BATTER
This is a variation from a Bob's Red Mill recipe. Very hearty and healthy. I like serving these with berry sauce instead of maple syrup. My small children (under 3 years) also enjoy eating the pancakes cold as a snack.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your pancakes or waffles are flavorful and delicious. Fresh eggs and buttermilk will give your batter a rich flavor, and pure vanilla extract will add a touch of sweetness and complexity.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your pancakes or waffles tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, and avoid overbeating.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking will allow the gluten to relax, which will result in lighter, fluffier pancakes or waffles.
- Heat your griddle or waffle iron properly: The ideal temperature for cooking pancakes or waffles is between 350°F and 375°F. If your griddle or waffle iron is too hot, your pancakes or waffles will burn; if it's too cool, they won't cook evenly.
- Cook your pancakes or waffles in batches: Don't overcrowd the griddle or waffle iron, or your pancakes or waffles will cook unevenly. Cook them in batches, and keep the cooked pancakes or waffles warm in a preheated oven while you finish cooking the rest.
Conclusion:
Grandma Virginia's pancake and waffle batter is a versatile recipe that can be used to make delicious pancakes, waffles, or even muffins.
