Pancakes for Two

So my boyfriend insists on having  pancakes at least once a week, usually Sunday mornings.  One day I had run out of pancake mix so I improvised.  And turns out that I'll never use a pancake mix again.  Since it's just two of us eating I didn't need to make dozens of pancakes so I figured out the recipe for 6, 4 for him and 2 for me.  Note the measurements are a little odd, but hey it works.  

Also note that since I travel for work so often I use powdered milk since the real stuff seems to just spoil on me. 

Recipe

3/4 c. Flour, sifted 
1-3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/2 tsp. sugar 
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 c. + 2 Tbsp. Milk (ok I'm too lazy and I usually just eyeball it a little over the 1/2 cup... And that equates to about 1/6 cup powdered milk and 1/2 cup water)
1/2 egg 
1 Tbsp. + 1-1/2 tsp. butter (eyeball it)
 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1.  Before you do anything place a griddle over medium heat.  I have an electric stove and I put it on 6 before I start mixing my ingredients. Next,  sift your flour and add other dry ingredients to a bowl.  

2.  Melt just over 1 tablespoon of butter (and I only use real unsalted stick butter, I'm not a fan of margarine, but to each their own).  In separate bowl mix you milk, egg, vanilla and butter together.  The easiest way to separate the egg is to crack it in a small dish and mix then pour half of it to the other ingredients.  

3. Now combine your wet and dry ingredients together and stir until it's a thick but not too thick mixture.

4.  Since your griddle is good to go pour the batter and wait until you see bubbles on top to flip.  Be patient. 

5.  After you take them off I like to add a little butter on top.  

ENJOY!
