At some point in my life, I ordered my mother to start writing down her recipies so I could have them. This was her recipe for pancakes, which probably came straight out of a cookbook, but who cares?

1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 Tblsp salt
1 Tblsp baking powder
1 Tblsp sugar
1 beaten egg (For a thicker pancake, use 2 eggs)
1 cup milk
2 Tblsp melted shortening (or bacon fat, or sausage drippings)

Sift flour with salt, baking powder and sugar.
Combine egg, milk, shortening and add to dry ingredients, stirring until flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy. Bake on hot, ungreased griddle.

So your son is making breakfast tomorrow?
