High altitude Pancakes A tried and true Wyoming pioneer recipe... Enjoy! ********************** High altitude Pancakes Like them to melt in your mouth? Try this recipe. Serve them hot off the griddle. Use a hot, lightly greased griddle. Makes eight 5 inch pancakes, or fourteen 3 inch pancakes. for 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet Ingredients: - 2 C sifted all purpose flour - 2 tsp. double acting baking powder - 1 tsp. salt - 2 eggs - 1/4 C sugar - 1-3/4 C milk - 1/4 C melted fat or cooking oil - 1/2 tsp. vanilla [optional, but recommended] Directions: 1. Sift flour, then measure. Add baking powder to the flour and sift into medium sized mixing bowl. Set aside. 2. Beat eggs with rotary hand beater until foamy. Add sugar and beat a few seconds. Stir in milk and shortening. 3. Pour egg and milk mixture into flour mixture. Stir just enough to moisten flour. 4. Preheat lightly greased griddle or skillet. When a few drops of water sprinkled on the surface bounce and sputter, the temperature is right. 5. Pour or spoon batter onto cooking surface in the amount for the desired pancake size. When the top of the pancake is covered with bursting bubbles, turn the pancake over. Turn only once. 6. Serve immediately. The amount of milk added determines the thickness of the pancakes. 1 1/2 C milk results in thick pancakes. 2 C makes them thin. |

Yikes!! You put flour twice in the list but no baking powder....I assume that is the second ingredient.

You are right! It is baking powder. I updated the post... thanks! I mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and keep them in a counter top flour can. The vanilla makes a big difference.

This is how I've always made pancakes too. I often wonder why folks buy the boxed stuff in the stores when it's so easy to make from scratch.
