Pancakes (best you've ever had!)

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup of flour
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2-3 T. sugar
1+ cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/2 stick butter


Directions

1) Mix dry ingredients together then add the milk, eggs, and almond extract
2) Cook the half stick of butter on a large frying pan until melted, then add to the batter (you can use a spatula if there is too much butter in the pan)
3) On slightly-above medium heat, cook the pancakes, turning over when the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form in the batter (note: the first batch usually looks a little flat)
4) Add butter as needed


OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS

You can replace the almond extract with 1/2 to 1 tsp. of vanilla extract.

You can also add canned or frozen corn to the batter before you cook it (remove any almond or vanilla extract to the mix). Chopped apples and blueberries are also good choices, but can make it difficult to cook.
