Griddle Cakes

2 C all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
2 t sugar
1 t salt
3 eggs lightly beaten
2 C milk 1/4 C melted butter
1/4 c vegetable oil

Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together info a large mixing bowl.
Mix well. Make a well in the flour and pour in the eggs and milk. With a large spoon,
mix together only enough to blend, then stir in the melted butter. Do not overmix;
the pancakes will be lighter if the batter is not too smooth. Heat a griddle or
heavy skillet over moderate heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly.
Grease very lightly. Make 4" pancakes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until small scattered
bubbles appear but have not broken. Flip and cook about one more minute. Stack on a
heated platter and serve with melted butter and maple syrup.

you can add one cup of fruit or chocolate chips.
