MY MOTHER'S PANCAKES
This recipe comes from a hand-written addition to my mother's Home and Garden cookbook (you know the one with the red and white checkers that used to be given as wedding presents back in the 50's). Her book is older than I am. Anyway this is simply the best pancake recipe I've ever tried. I have tried a few, but always come back to this one.

- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

- Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
- BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.

- WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Tips for Making Perfect Pancakes:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh buttermilk, eggs, and flour will produce lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the flour to absorb the liquid and results in a smoother batter.
- Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they cook through.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Spread the batter out into a circle using the back of a spoon.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes only once.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
