GRANDMA CADDELL'S HOT CAKES
This recipe came from my grandmother, who made us hotcakes every Sunday morning. These are very lite and sweet enough to eat without syrup. She made these grapefruit-size. You could also put fruit on these and serve with no syrup as a desert. This is the only recipe our family has ever used. I made them for a friend once, and she liked them, but said they were sweet and tasted more like a crepe. Anyhow, they are quick and easy to make.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a med. size bowl.
- Then add enough milk and stir until smooth.
- Add eggs.
- Add vanilla.
- Stir again.
- If needed, add more milk. The batter should be a bit on the thin consistency side.
- Let these set for about 5 min, and they will thicken a little.
- Drop batter on either a ungreased griddle, or a non stick fry pan on medium heat. The first pancake is always the test to see if your pan is on the right heat. You can make these any size you want, but grapefruit size is the way grandma always made them.
- This recipe can also be halved. And, these freeze up great! I freeze them for my family for a quick breakfast, or after school snack.

You need to make these 1 hour before you want to eat them. The batter has to stay in the fridge for 1/2 hr before the cooking starts. Well worth the wait though!

Tips:
- Use fresh, room-temperature ingredients: This will ensure that your hotcakes are light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in tough, dense hotcakes.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking: This will allow the gluten to relax, which will also help to produce light and fluffy hotcakes.
- Cook the hotcakes over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
- Flip the hotcakes only once: Flipping them too often will make them tough.
- Serve the hotcakes immediately with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream are all great options.
