Directions

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, make a 'well' in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon oil into the well. Mix until well moistened.
Place a griddle over medium-high heat, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the griddle. If the droplets bounce, the griddle is ready, add 2 teaspoons oil.
Spoon batter onto the griddle, cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Recipe Note

This secret family pancake recipe was passed down from my grandfather. He fed a family of 7 (including 4 growing boys!) on these pancakes, and refused to give anyone the recipe until he finally relinquished it to my mother (his daughter-in-law) before he passed away. It is a long-standing family favorite!
